Upgrade to play gw2 smoothly

[abdii]

hello,

this is my current reg:
GPU: evga GTX 570 "I think it's the oc'd one"
Mobo: GA-P55-UD3L 
Cpu: i5 760 
PSU: 750watts Silver Stone 
Ram: x2 DDR3 4.0gb/1600 Kingston 
OS: Windows 7 64bit
case: gigabyt 3d aurora

I'd like to upgrade the system and run SLI GTX 570 " will run gw2 decently?"
also I want It to be able to run SLI GTX 670-680 OR 690 in the future.

so could any one please tell me which parts should I change"mobo, cpu ... etc" ?

thanks and sorry did not know the exact place to post this .

Personally I believe your CPU will hold back an SLI configuration, so I will recommend an i5 3570k + Z77

Your current PSU should be fine to run a 670/680 SLI or a single 690

It will most likely handle a 570 SLI as well.

 

[abdii]

if money is not a problem and the goal is to run SLI GTX 570 now and GTX 680 SLI in the future. would you recommend something else or does your recommendation stay?

 

[mocchan]

My opinion would stay the same about a CPU+Mobo upgrade.

If money is not an issue, I would sell your 570 and purchase a single 680 now (or 670..they perform so close for the money in question).

Does this mean you think your current 570 isn't adequate for GW2? I'm working on a new build and that is one of the games I want to place with it. maybe I should skimp on the video card :/

 

[mocchan]

To be honest, you should be fine with a GTX570 for Guild Wars 2 I wouldn't be too worried. You could always OC your CPU to yield more performance, to be honest. Your i5 760 isn't too bad and you may be able to squeeze more performance out of it.

Also, I'm a little confused now, are you upgrading your system or building a new rig?

 

[abdii]

I don't know which part of my system is the problem. because I can't play on high resolution or a big monitor... it keeps lagging or even the monitor starts doing weird stuff...

 

[mocchan]

What resolution is your monitor? And what kind of weird things are you seeing?

 

[unksol]

A 570 should be fine. The system requirements are supposed to be pretty low.

No res here but for comparison. Also note where some nvidia drivers crippled performance

my monitor is either a 22" or 23" inch sync master . and the screen just shuts down when I play gw for abit. I tried a smaller monitor it was better with low res and as soon as I'd increase the resolution it will start ddoing stupid stuff also....

 

[mocchan]

What kind of temperatures are you seeing on your GTX570? It might be an overheating issue.

Also, when was the last time you updated drivers? This may also be an underlying issue.

If none of these are an issue, then it may your card dying.

I'll check the temp today and the drivers was always nvIdIa gtx 500s 301.XX "updated to 304 beta yesterday". if the GPu is really dying and I put it In the new mobo will it cause any harm?

regardIng what my need Is, I want a new build with keeping good parts from my current.
so
mobo = Z77 "deluxe or normal?"
cpu = i5 3570 vs 3570k ?
psu Will keep the current
ram should I change the current ?
and GPu I'll try my GTX 570 on the new upgraded system then I'll decide to upgrade 670 or keep.

thank you very much
