Hey guys,
I have this current build:
MOBO: ASRock 970 Extreme3
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 660ti
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 Core Black 3.40ghz
PSU: 650 (possibly 750) watts
RAM: Corsair Vengence 8GB
I am looking to upgrade my graphics card to be able to run more games, as I find the 660ti has quite low performance. I like to play Skyrim and would like to play more high spec games such as Bannerlord (when it's released), the Battlefield series and other series' without too much of a struggle.
I'm looking to spend up to £150 on a new card and would like to share with you guys some of my choices.
GTX 780 - I was told by a friend, and saw a few posts about it online saying it rivals a GTX 950. Not sure how true this is.
GTX 950 - I was told this is almost as good as a 970, again, not sure how true this is.
My primary concern is that I buy a card that the other components "cant handle" and then I get the BSODs and the rest of the errors that come with it such as conking out randomly and overheating, etc.
So, TLDR:
1) Would a GTX 780/GTX 950 be compatible with the parts I already have?
2) Would you say GTX 780 or GTX 950 would be better?
3) Are there any other cards that you feel would be better to use?
4) On the card you recommended (if any), would I be able to play new-gen games?
Thanks very much for your time ladies and gents.
Nully
