Hi
My current PC specs are core i3 2120,8 GB RAM, Win 10 Pro, GTX 650 and a 120 GB Samsung SSD,500 GB HDD. I know it's a pretty old system,but if possible,what would be an ideal graphics upgrade for this system? Please share your opinions.
 
Solution
If you play on 1080p for sure a 1050 or a 1050 Ti (the Ti is certainly better and costs only a bit more, it's like 10% faster but more importantly it has more memory, 2GB is really not quite enough anymore these days). 750 Ti is an upgrade to the 650 but really too slow for modern games, even on low settings you won't get 60fps in new titles like Watch Dogs 2, in 1080p.

Of Nvidia cards, I think a 1050 or 950 is the lowest you should consider. There's not much point to the 750 Ti now, unless you can get such a good deal on one that you can't turn it down. The 1050 Ti would be nice to have for games where more GPU power, instead of more CPU power, is important.
