Hello!
I am having a issue with trying to pick new graphics card(s). I do not understand any of the technical stuff, or any of the advanced settings or information. I get as far as being able to turn on a game, have it auto set settings and then play. I have been told by a few of my friends that I need to update my graphics to the newer graphics cards however I am very uncertain as to what I want or need for that matter.
CPU: I7-4820K Quad 3.70 GHZ 10MB Intel Smart Cache LGA2011
Motherboard: GIGABYTE x79-UP4 ATX w/ Ultra Durable 5, GblAN, 4 GEn3 PCIe x16
Ram / System Memory: 16GB (4GBx4) DDR3/1866MHz Quad Channel Memory (Cosair Vengeance)
Video Card: Nvidia Geforce EVGA GTX 780TI 3GB GDDR5 384-Bit Dual-Link DVI-I DVI-D HDMI DP SLI Graphics Card
Power Supply: 850 Watts - Corsair RM850 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Fully Modular Ultra Quiet Power Supply
Monitors: NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 Ready Monitor: ASUS 27" LCD - VG278 & 27" ViewSonic LED 3D Monitor
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium
That is my information as of right now, and I think that is the important stuff that is needed to get help for this problem.
I had a similar issue when I first posted about my computer when I first got it back in July I had gotten a 760 4GB with it, but soon upgraded to the 780TI thanks to information from some very helpful people here. Now here again trying to get the best out of my computer and gaming that I possibly can.
I play a few games as of right now: World of Warcraft, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, The Evil Within, and a few others but those are my most demanding as far as I keep seeing online. I think from what I understand World of Warcraft is not super demanding, but it can be heavy on performance during larger raid encounters I have read. I also want to get into newer games that are going to be coming out such as Dying Light and Evolve, for something to keep in mind when trying to pick new card(s).
There is a lot of hype and posts about these 970 and 980, but when I read up on them it is usually a bunch of stuff I have no clue what it is all about. I have kind of gotten the idea behind this FPS thing because everyone talks about it all the time. I seam to keep steady on my games but notice my games will go slow or "shudder" sometimes during times when lots of things are going on at once. I would like to go into this SLI as I understand it you get the performance from both cards to run one game or something like that? Naturally I would think that would be better as far as I understand it.
I would appreciate any help in trying to pick graphics card(s) best for my gaming experience. If at possible SLI if it is better, but if it is not then anything that would work better then my 780TI. One post that I did run across somewhere a day or two ago was that one should go for a higher single card then SLI so that also has made me question if it would be good for me or not. Not to mention if it would be hard to maintain or set games up for it would be a factor as well.
PS: If there is a place that someone could link/share where I could read up to understand the different information about the graphics settings that would be a great help as well! To clear that up information such as like what different settings are in the games: Example being FXAA, MSAA, TXAA. Or things like PhysX, SSAO and all of those other things they put on there, that I never have any clue what should go where to get the best performance from my games.
Thanks in advanced for any help, and advice anyone may have.
