Looking to upgrade my card soon.

Saziel · May 5, 2014

My PC specs are:

FX-4100
HD 7750
8gb RAM

I'm looking at 3 cards. The GTX 750 ti, R7 265, and a GTX 660. Anyone have any advice?

Oh, and also this will be the power supply: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-CMPSU-650TX-650-Watt-Series-Certified/dp/B000X24ISU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1399311307&sr=8-3&keywords=corsair+tx+650

Will that work with any of those cards?

Already have the PSU as I'll be taking it from another PC.

750TI will be the fastest of those, I think if you went the 660 route I would pay the extra cash for the 660TI. For your information, I use a GTX 460 768MB and can play Tribes Ascend and War Thunder at the complete maximum graphics settings with no lag.

Thanks. Oh I forgot to mention, I won't be doing any overclocking, if that makes a difference.

Saziel :

I tried GPU OC once, but it never really worked so well. It can also completely screw up your system.

EDIT: You might not want to go with a GPU too fast with that processor, a very powerful GPU will be bottle necked by that processor, so I would say nothing faster than 750TI.

Thanks! A 750ti should still be a huge upgrade to my 7750, so I'll be happy with that for a while.

No, the r7 265 is quite a lot faster than the 750Ti. It's faster at stock even when the 750Ti is overclocked to 1300MHz. But the 750Ti is about half the power draw.

Either way, with that PSU, you can run any of the cards above just fine.

Haha, indeed it will, and the 7750 is technically only slightly slower than my GTX460, and as soon as it will not play games at ultimate I will use it as a dedicated PHysx processor for something like a 660TI or 590.

Remember, his processor is a FX 4100. Would hate to have a bottleneck.

Hello man :

See my CPU-Z validation. No bottleneck there.

Besides, that's why there is Mantle.

Your CPU is only a wee bit overclocked.

Well, I thought I had decided. Now I'm unsure again, lol.

I have always been a GeForce card guy, but it is up to you.
