Upgrade On-board Intel HD 4600 Video

[wkm001]

I just put together a new system last weekend using an Asus Z97-A motherboard and Intel 4690K CPU. The on-board graphics seem to work fine, I'm not doing any gaming. Is there a graphics card for about $100 that would give me a significant boost? Currently I have a monitor with DVI and a second monitor with DVI and HDMI.

This looks like a good one but I want to get the best bang for the buck. http://amzn.com/B00IDG3NDY

If ur psu allows u can get a R7 260X for ~120$.

Nothing wrong with the card you linked. It would be a definite boost over your current integrated graphics. What power supply do you have?

your systems PSU / full spec will help.

PS- just curious, are you going to OC? looking at your cpu and mobo it seems like one

I might play around with some mild OCing, I'm using the stock air cooler that came with the CPU. I'm also not sure how much faster I can go since I only have 1600 RAM.

the 750 ti s good. the r9 260x will de a bit better.

if you can extend a bit , get the gtx 760 or the r9 280 ,but seeing that you dont game , any cheap card would do

PS- you have a nice setup over there

Yeah. Nothing wrong with that power supply. Nothing wrong with the graphics card you linked. I'd say you're good to go.

Than R7 260X it's best for u close to the specified budget.

ocing the cpu helps a lot more than ocing the ram. from what i heard ( i dont oc much) OC ing the ram cuts rendering times by minutes , while oc ing cpu does it in hours( thats what i heard, from an ocer, but genrally rendering is better with a decent GPU)

for you job , go for the cheapest.maybe gigabyte. the only difference is the factory ocs and different cooling solutions on the cards which is probarbly of no use to you since you dont game
