hey i need help deciding if  i need to upgrade my graphics card .

I have a gtx 660 2gb from gigabyte and since new games like far cry 5 and rise of the tomp raider i have been experiencing 30 fps on low presets in rise of the tomp raider, mass efect andromeda, just cause 3 ,dishonored 2,Assinsin's creed unity and syndicate and the division i can barely run.

Do i need to upgarde my graphics card to a 1050 ti?

Probably not a bad idea to upgrade. Don't know what exactly your budget is, but 1050Ti should be good for medium settings 1080p

REMEMBER:

IF YOU WANT ME TO RESPOND, YOU GOTTA QUOTE ME 

OR

PUT @Fixinit1 IN YOUR RESPONSE!!!!!

 

 

Gosh, I hate it when people forget. Anyway, check out my PC below, and there's a PCPartPicker link on my profile, If you wanna see what I'm planning.

CPU - Ryzen 5 2400G

MOTHERBOARD - MSI B350 Tomahawk

I agree with him it is definatley time for an upgrade. If you can hold off you should wait for GPU prices to go down

idk tbh

the 1050 ti is an msi gxt 1050 ti gaming cx 4gb going for 199.99 euros if i upgrade is it a good idea?

That seems pretty expensive for a 1050Ti, so I bet you could find a better deal. It is a good idea to upgrade though

What cpu do you have?

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Since you are running a 660 card, I would be worried about the rest of your system too... Please list out your full system, Mobo, Ram, CPU, PSU.
