Hi Guys,
I built this PC a while back and used a card I had lying around. Now I am using video at a faster frame rate (60fps) it is jumping / jerky, so I guess I have exceeded the capabilities of the card. I don't want to go wild, but what card would be recommended to be able to watch 1280 Video at 60 fps ? The rest of the system is W10 64bit, 16GB RAM, Intel i5-4670K quad core @ 3.4 GHz, and the current graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 5670. Thanks, Nick

You should be able to watch HD videos with just the 4670K and integrated graphics, this is strange.

Anyway, NVIDIA wise I would suggest that you get a 550ti or 750 / 750ti or 950

Those are the ones that will balance gaming and watching HD videos.

Except it really depends on your budget for your GPU.

Thanks for your reply ...

Am I right in thinking that you are suggesting I would be better off ditching the Radeon 5670 graphics card and relying on the on-board graphics and speed of the processor ? That's easy to try but it hadn't occurred to me that that might be the case !
