Hello, since the best my desktop's motherboard has to offer is PCIe x16 2.0 i'm wondering what options I have for upgrading my GT 220. Been looking, but I understand some newer/faster cards might actually result in slower graphics...?
Any advice/pointers will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Approximate purchase date - next two weeks
Budget range - $140 (€100) before rebates
Usage from most to least important -
Autodesk Revit 2014 (3D architectual modelling/BIM)
Gaming (needs to run Watch_Dogs, as crisp as possible)
Watching movies
Photoshop
Autodesk AutoCAD 2014
Power supply -
350W
Other relevant system specs -
Intel Core i3 530
MoBo MS-7616
12 GB RAM DDR3 666 MHz
stock cooling
Country of origin - Netherlands
Parts preferences - want PhysX card

Additional comments -
Watch_Dogs minimum is GeForce GTX 460/ Radeon HD 5850/ Intel Iris Pro HD 5200 and recommended GeForce GTX 560 Ti/ Radeon HD 7750
Autodesk Revit isn't that picky.
