What graphic card should I change to play minecraft

__BOSSY__ · Jun 24, 2015

so I have this PC http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ibuypower-desktop-amd-fx-series-8gb-memory-500gb-hard-drive-black-blue/6980021.p?id=1218818471270&skuId=6980021 and I want to upgrade my graphic card to play minecraft like pvp and use no more than a 128by128 texture pack and run on high settings! I want to get around like 60 or more if possible! I might be asking for a lot but just give me some suggestions that I can look at!

And If i upgrade the graphics card will I need to upgrade something else to? Thanks

Can't go wrong with a Gtx 750ti. It's a very well rounded card that will definitely improve your gaming experience regardless. It's capable of maxing minecraft and reaching fps probably above 100. Enjoy~

1+ for the 750 ti. You should be okay but that link doesn't seem to say what power supply is in it. Read the label on your power supply and tell me the make and model.

You should be fine just upgrading the graphics card. Try to find a GTX 400 up to a GTX 600 series series; any higher would be overkill for Minecraft. They are pretty inexpensive at this point although they can be difficult to find new.

Edit: I agree with Erwin too; the 750 Ti will be fine and probably easier to find.

Yeah, a GTX 750ti will help a lot, but you still might run into CPU issues. Because minecraft cares a great deal about your CPU.
Still, the GPU you had in there before was only to make up for the complete lack of graphics the system would have otherwise, so this will be a huge improvement.

On a 750ti:
Minecraft: Settings: High Settings Avg:191 Min:0 (loading chunks) Max:393

Another vote for the GTX 750ti. I've got it in my system, and it runs Minecraft perfectly.

Ok the Nvidia Gtx 750ti sounds great but which one? Gigabyte, msi, evga, or asus? There are seven different ones! Which is the best?

Dunlop0078 · Jun 24, 2015

__BOSSY__ :

Any of those you just mentiond they are all pretty much the same, some will neeed a 6pin pci express connetor however and i dont know if you power supply has that.

This would be a good choice nice and small and im almost positive your system will power it.

I think only that EVGA FTW edition requires an extra PCIE cable, the rest of the 750ti series don't.

MSI's twin frozr cooler is one of the best, and it's easy to OC it to the same settings as the more expensive factory OC'd ones.

The gigabyte one does, I thought the msi one did as well i guess not. The msi twin frozr version would also be a great choice.

What does "OC" mean? And do I need to change my proccesser too? Or any other part, Or is it ok how it is!

Archgaull · Jun 24, 2015

__BOSSY__ :

OC means overclock. You have good enough RAM, but the 4300 isn't the best AMD processor, and it wouldn't kill you to upgrade that as well.

__BOSSY__ · Jun 24, 2015

so your saying that I have to change it? Because it's bad and won't get along with Gtx 750ti?

If so then what proccesser should I upgrade to that isn't expensive?

Dunlop0078 · Jun 24, 2015

OC means overclock running a part faster than its recommended specs. And i wouldn't upgrade the cpu if your just gaming the FX 4300, 6300, and 8320 are all pretty much on par in the majority of games at stock speeds.

Dunlop0078 · Jun 24, 2015

__BOSSY__ :

It will do just fine with the 750 ti, that is a very balanced build i wouldn't upgrade to another AMD cpu for gaming thats pointless in my opinion.

__BOSSY__ · Jun 24, 2015

Dunlop0078 :

So my cpu is ok

Dunlop0078 · Jun 24, 2015

__BOSSY__ :

Yes. If you got another amd cpu the performance gain you would receive would be nowhere near worth the money.

__BOSSY__ · Jun 24, 2015

So my PC will be fine and all the part work together ( like motherboard etc. ?) and I can play minecraft with optifine over 60fps high settings with 64x64 texture smooth?

Archgaull · Jun 24, 2015

Yes. I'd also like to clarify, you definitely don't NEED the upgrade by any means, but it will always help.

Dunlop0078 · Jun 24, 2015

__BOSSY__ :

Yes everything will work, you never told me what power supply you have i would like to know that to be absolutely sure. I have no idea what 64x64 texture smooth is but it should max out minecraft at well over 60fps 1080p.

__BOSSY__ · Jun 24, 2015

Archgaull :

Upgrade what? Sorry

Archgaull · Jun 24, 2015

To your CPU.
