Hey everybody.
As the title says, I'm contemplating a new gfx card. I've been disappointed with how my current gfx card (Nvidia GTX 460) performs in games like Guild Wars 2, a heavily modded Skyrim, and Planetside 2. I find myself having to reduce the graphics to absolute minimum to get a remotely playable experience in any kind of pvp.
My system is old (like almost 7-8 years) but I've upgraded bits and pieces along the way. Here's where I'm at now:
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 940 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
Power Supply: Antec TruePower New TP-750 Blue 750W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Motherboard: Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
If I'm missing information, please let me know and I will try to post it.
As far as what's compatible with what, and what exactly my options are for purchases, or if a new gfx card would even help my pc's performance (it's damn old, I know), I could really use some advice.
I was looking at a GTX 570 or GTX 580
Thanks in advance.
