Using a relatively modern graphics card on an old (2009) rig

Ianman · Aug 19, 2016

Hi,
I have a core i7 920 with an ASUS P6T and 12GB of tripple channel memory. My current gfx card is a GTX 750Ti. Would it be worth it to replace the GTX 750Ti with a GTX 970?

Thanks!

What do you mean by worth it? The i7 920 should be able to handle a GTX 970 with maybe very little bottleneck. I would get an RX 480 or GTX 1060 over the GTX 970 any day.

Your system is more than capable of pumping data over to the GTX970. Aged as it may be, Nehalem CPU's are still beefy in today's market.

Get a Rx480, is way better and more future proof.

Why is that exactly? I am so out of touch with hardware these days.

An RX 480 is AMD's new graphics card based on the Polaris Architecture. Its the same price as a RX 480 and will be better cause of the large amount of VRAM.
