GPU upgrade advice needed
Posted on 6/17/13 at 6:43 pm
Posted on 6/17/13 at 6:43 pm
I don't do any major gaming but I'm pretty sure my GPU isn't worth a shite. I'm not looking to buy a top of the line graphics card but I want something that will look decent and not cost too much. My current pc, no upgrades yet.
My current PC
-Intel Core i5 3350P(3.10GHz)
-12GB DDR3 1TB HDD Capacity
-NVIDIA GeForce GT 620 1GB

get a 650ti or a 7950. either will be more than enough to run everything at 1080p for a while

What is your goal? 1080 at max? 1080 at medium?

GTX Titan is the only financially responsible choice.

7870Ghz for 1080 on a budget
If your budget is a little larger, HD7950 or GTX770.

650Ti 2GB if you are looking for a card under $200. They are great little cards but very hard to not buy AMD at the lower price points. You get those damn free games.

You have a MSI TFIII Boost also?

my budget is probably around $200, i could spend more but i don't want to buy something really nice and not ever use it to its potential

All suggestions work except for the Titan.
I would recommend the 7870 ghz edition. You can get it for $200 right now

You say that now.
I would get a 7870GHz with the free games. If you do want to spend 50-70 more bucks, get you a 7950.

Let me tell you something. Titans can make everyone happy. My daily mood and epeen has increased since late February.

I love some of Sapphire's lastest coolers.
What is the stock core/mem clock? 1100/7Gbs?

Check this 7790 out, thought it had an awesome cooler and was going to purchase just for the games. I could always use another card for something, or would have gave it to my step brothers. The 1GB VRAM is what held me back from purchasing.

I think we will see some sweet designs with the 8series.

No OC does not compute.
