Hi, so last year I upgraded from a radeon HD5450 512mb to a Asus HD7750 1gb gddr5. It runs well-optimized games great, like Battlefield 3, Bad company 2, Metro Last Light, Skyrim, Minecraft, Far Cry 2, all on ultra-high in the 50-60 fps range.
But I got ArmA 3 and I really like it, unfortunately the optimization for the game is way beyond my graphics card capabilities. I get 10-20 fps on servers, but 60-70 fps on singleplayer with everything on ultra and grass turned off.
What graphics card would you recommend for these specs?
AMD Phenom ii x4 945 3.0GHZ
Asus HD7750 GDDR5
Windows 7 64-bit
8gb ddr3 ram
1tb Hard Drive
1360x768 display
Corsair 430 watt psu (I upgraded from a 300-watt craptrap chinese psu, which probably only put out 200 watts. Failed a few times)
I bought this computer from HP so I can't overclock the CPU. GPU overclocking is just fine. Is my system bottlenecking any of my components/GPU? My mom needs a new computer, so I can probably gift her this one and she would slip me some cash to build a new one, but I am trying to hold back, because if I start building then I want a top-of-the-line that should be future-proof for at least another 2-3 years, which would cost me 800-1,500$.
This PC works fine, it runs a standard ATX motherboard, so I should be able to swap out motherboards and be able to overclock, right? There are no more PCI-E slots on my motherboard available except the one that is being used now, so I can't crossfire another graphics card, and ArmA 3 doesn't work with crossfired cards, only on DX9 mode, which is not available in multiplayer, and I would need a new motherboard and PSU.
