Will it game?

Hi,

I just bought a graphics card for ~28$ US without even knowing what it realy is.

After some digging I found out that it is a GTX 560 ti 448 Core designed for Dell (probably for some kind of Alienware PC).

Now I was just wondering if it was worth the ~28$ and if it's able to run modern games? Also is it possible to overclock it just like a normal 560ti (+what drives should I use Nvidia/Dell)?

Thanks in advance!

560Ti is still able to play modern games but it is a gpu from years ago, So you might want to turn down the graphical settings on the game so you can get a comfortable Framerate.

Would help to list out what games you like to play, or would like to play. 

 

In terms of AAA games, the card will struggle to run them well on anything above low for games released after 2015-2016. For games like Fortnite I would bet that it would be able to handle medium settings with resolution scaling turned down.

Mainly you'll need to turn your textures down in some newer games, but for $30 you can do worse.

Thanks for the replies! I know it won't handle the newest games well. It's basically for a Lan-Party computer that I build out of stuff laying around. I think Battlefield 1 will be the latest game I'm going to play on it.

 

What do you think about overclocking? Just to get a bit more power out of it? Have you done oc on "Dell" cards?
