I’m looking for a new GPU to pair with my old CPU.
Current Specs:
GTX 750ti FTW
AMD Phenom ii x4 965 OC 3.9GHz @ 1.47v
2600 CPU-NB @ 1.2v
8GB DDR3 1333
650w PSU
1080p at 60Hz Monitor
So as you can tell I have an old system that’s due for an upgrade. I’ve been slowly getting back in to gaming. I decided to start by upgrading to the Super Special Skyrim edition and was a little disappointed at performance. On Ultra I was getting 36 FPS. My GPU is overclocked as well though I’m not entirely sure what the current frequencies are. I have an additional 50 on the core and 500 on the memory clocks.
I’m looking for something to hold me over for the coming months while I piece together a new build. I feel like the time to buy is coming up and should be in full swing by November. Until then I’d like to catch up on some older titles like Dragon Age Inquisition, Fallout 4 and start in on the Witcher series.
Using MSI and Rivatuner I’ve observed my CPU hanging around 40%, but my GPU is pegged at 100%. I think I can go higher on the GPU end without a catastrophic bottleneck. My CPU doesn’t seem to be lagging behind at its current frequency. I have more headroom in overclocking the CPU. The hyper 212 cooling it just needs to be cleaned out and some new paste wouldn’t hurt. I’m sure I can get it at 4.1GHz and 2800 on the NB.
I was considering a 1060 or 580. I don’t think a 1050 would give me that much more of a boost over this 750ti.
Thanks for reading!
