GTX 750 a Good Upgrade?

ChristGilley · Mar 24, 2014

My pc has an i5 core cpu with integrated graphics. As it sits now I can run the DayZ standalone well on low settings. Woul a GeForce GTX 750 be a good enough upgrade to run it on at least medium settings?

What is your power supply? (Manufacturer and Model)

Khaleal · Mar 24, 2014

GTX 750 will be a huge performance boost compared to your integrated graphics.

I'm not entirely sure. It's a fairly new hp Inspiron if that helps. I'll check when I get home and let you know

I also didn't mean to select your answer as the best answer. I'm using my phone and the "select as best" button looked like a "view answer" button

bkoop · Mar 24, 2014

No problem, I deselected it for you.

How well would I be able to run DayZ with it?

Khaleal · Mar 24, 2014

ChristGilley :

You would get an average of 27 fps when settings are set to ultra and the resolution is 1920x1080.

I have an i5 CPU, not an i7. I wish I had an i7 though

bkoop · Mar 24, 2014

You don't mention which i5 you have but most of the i5 and all the new ones have 4 cores and 4 threads which is good for gaming. The i7 has 4 cores and 8 threads, the extra 4 threads, in general, do not help much in gaming.

For example, the i5-760 has 4 cores and 4 threads, i5-670 has 2 cores and 4 threads. Even the i5-670 is not bad, at 3.46 GHz and 4 MB of Smart Cache is a pretty good processor.

You have been held back by the lack of a video card, not your CPU.

I have an i5-2320 with 6gb if RAM. I'll check the PSU and update you guys in a bit

stuperstrong · Mar 24, 2014

The Gtx 750 uses a very low amount of power, so it's likely that it will work and have a decent jump in performance, might also look into getting the ti.

ChristGilley · Mar 25, 2014

stuperstrong :

What is the difference in the regular and the ti?

Nikola Aslanov-1338074 · Mar 25, 2014

ChristGilley :

The 750TI is about 25% faster (and about 25% more expensive). Both cards are quite good but get the TI if you can allow it.
Check the PSU, it must be at least 400w.
If your current PC is small form factor you may need a low profile video card.

RobCrezz · Mar 25, 2014

Nikola Aslanov-1338074 :

Actually you can run a 750 Ti on a half decent 300w psu, it only draws 60w.

Khaleal · Mar 25, 2014

The TI versions are more games oriented cards.
Don't worry, you'll be able to play that game at ultra settings even with that CPU.

ChristGilley · Mar 25, 2014

Khaleal :

So the TI would be a lot better for what I'm looking for? Isn't it only like $10 more?

Khaleal · Mar 26, 2014

I'm not sure about the price difference between the two.. But I think it worth spending up to 20$ more.

ChristGilley · Mar 27, 2014

Khaleal :

What graphic settings could I run dayz and rust? Those are the two games I play the most

Khaleal · Mar 27, 2014

ChristGilley :

High-Ultra settings at 1080p

ChristGilley · Mar 28, 2014

Khaleal :

ChristGilley :

High-Ultra settings at 1080p

Oh wow really?

ChristGilley · Mar 28, 2014

Khaleal :

ChristGilley :

High-Ultra settings at 1080p

I could get it off if amazon for less than $120
