Should I upgrade from gtx 660 oem 1.5 to gigabyte gtx 760

k1ng0d · Nov 13, 2014

Ok so I currently have a gtx 660 oem 1.5 gb and I am looking at a 150$ gtx 760. Is it worth the upgrade. If it helps the rest of my system is
I5 2500K
8GB ddr3 Ram

And well I think thats all that matters. I also play battlefield 4 and advanced warfare will I see a huge bump or not in those games. Any help would be appreciated thanks

Up to you really. The GTX 760 will have on average around a 20% gain in fps coming from the 660.

Or you could consider saving up for a more powerful graphics card.

The change will not be huge in battlefield 4. I own a GTX 760 and it plays at ultra settings from 60-75fps, so it's your choice.

the 660 should run bf4 ok with med-high detail preset, like 60'ish fps at 1080. i guess if you want to run it at ultra then a 760 would be an option. I wouldnt sli with another 660, since you have an oem version it may not be compatible.

Ah didn't notice the oem. Edited.

RazerZ :

What would be a good graphics card to save up for given my specs I don't wish to bottleneck

MajorGamer :

So do you think it will be worth the extra money has I can get everything on ultra except antiailiasing and ambient occlusion which are set to off and get around the same frame rate

I'd need to know your PSU, but your i5 can handle any graphics card you throw at it. If your 660 is oem, does that mean your using a motherboard from a prebuilt pc like a dell, hp, toshiba, etc? If so you might run into some compatibility issues when trying to run a new graphics card.

If your motherboard is the Asus p8p67 pro rev 3.1 as stated in your sig then you should be good to go.

I'd try to aim for a 280x and higher. If you're open to buying second hand parts, you should be able to find a HD 7970 on ebay for around $150.

My PSU is a gs600 and no It is custom built and the 660 well I bought it from a person who claimed it was a 660 ti so he was just a lying piece of doodoo and thanks for reminding me about that

The PSU should work for any graphics card you want to upgrade to.

k1ng0d :

a gtx970 would run well with your cpu. or get the 760 now if you must have a few more fps in bf4. Overclocking your cpu wouldnt hurt for the multiplayer bf4 to keep your frames up too.
