Hello, I'm thinking of upgrading from my 560 Ti to a GTX 760 and I was wondering if that would be a significant performance jump (I'm currently getting jumpy frames at 1920x1080 in games like Borderlands 2 and Crysis 1 on max settings, and don't even get me started on Rise of the Triad 2013). I've done some research and I know the 770 is better but I really would prefer not to spend 400 dollars for a graphics card.
Also, will an 1100T cpu bottleneck a 760? My processor is still at its stock speed of 3.3 GHz. On another note, I am looking for a single GPU, I was running two 560 Ti's in SLI but did not see a worthwhile increase in performance (and one of the cards' fans died; I will keep the good 560 Ti for PhysX or something). Finally, the specific model of 760 I was thinking about is the MSI 2GB version, but I am open to alternatives.
Any input would be appreciated, and thank you.
