Hello,
I recently purchased a Dell XPS 8700 and I am looking to upgrade my graphics card, so I do not have to purchase a Xbox One to play Titanfall, but I digress.
So far, I am considering either the:
1) EVGA Geforce GTX 760 Superclocked w/ ACX cooler 2gb
EVGA Geforce GTX 760 Superclocked w/ ACX cooler 2gb
2) ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II Edition Graphics Card
ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II Edition Graphics Card
First let me point out, that it has been a very long time since I have even cracked open a computer, but I am very capable. In addition to doing plenty of research, I was hoping I could use you guys for guidance.
So, my questions, so far:
1)Are these more than adequate for moderate gaming on high settings, for today's newest games?
2) Are there any other cards I should be considering around the $250 range? AMD? I am not looking for a fanboy answer, but what is the major difference?
3) From what I have found, it seems that these two cards will fit in my computer. Right?
4)What is all this talk about 8 pin and 16 pin? Is this the pci-slot? What do I need for my system?
5) Do I need to upgrade my power supply? If so, what recommendations do you guys have. Also, what is the difference in prices? Meaning, a 550W power supply at $$$$$ vs. a 550W power supply at $$, what are the differences.
6) Lastly, what do you guys recommend I research as far as graphics cards, installation, etc. I would like to know a lot about what I am purchasing.
PS: Let me know what other information I could provide you guys with to get the best possible answers.
Thank you in advanced,
-Matt
