I recently got a new computer (amd fx 4300, Nvidia 610, 8 gig ram) And I do a bit of gaming but recently I've been having the urge to upgrade something so I could get better graphics. I was thinking about maybe a Nvidia Geforce 720? Not sure how good it really would be because I couldn't find any really good reviews on it. I want something to play World of Tanks on almost or at max settings to increase my gameplay (Don't we all) So I wanted some help picking out a new card, Can't be anything over $150 (No acceptions plz!) Thanks, all help is appreciated!!

ok... you need to learn the lexicon of graphic cards...

the first number is the generation, the second is its "class" or power... or whatever you want to call it... AMD used to add a third number to further classify the graphics power, now they went to a random R7/R9 classification before the number... and an x at the end... don't worry about that though.

so going from a 610 (which is almost by the very definition, the weakest gpu nvidia made in the 600 series) to the 720 (which is the 2nd weakest gpu in the 700 series) isn't much of an improvement.

At 150, you can get much better value with a GTX 650ti BOOST or HD 7850 (if you can find one).
