New Video Card

[Leftnut]

Any Suggestions for a new Video Card. I tend to stick with Nvida they just seem to work better with games even if AMD has so called more horse power.

What are your system specs? Whats your budget?

I have a 7950, but if I'd buy now would probably get a GTX 670.

i have a evga gtx580, i agree with johnny gtx 670-680 would be the way to go for nvidia.

 

[Leftnut]

Ouch those 670's are pretty pricey.

 

[skerwball]

yes they are

 

[Ogami Itto]

560 Ti then?

 

[JohnnyK]

We really need to know your current specs to give useful advice, Lefty.

And budget, if this is still a question.

I've got a 560TI, can run both Dayz and Bf3 with max settings, max resolution and still achieve 70 FPS.

I definitly reccomend it.

Intel Core Duo 8400 3.00 GHz
4GB Ram
Nvidia GTX 460

I was think of building a new box sometime this year. I just might pick up a 560TI for right now. I heard GW2 really hits the CPU hard and is not utilizing the GPU fully is this true?

 

[Kenadian]

That's a good CPU but an old CPU and not a lot of RAM either. I'm assuming your on Win 7 or at least Vista as well?

What Mobo do you have and are you able to run SLI?

 

[JohnnyK]

IMHO there's not much benefit in upgrading from the 460 as the 8400 will always be the bottleneck; I'd save the money on the 560 and go for a completely new build down the road tbh.

 

[Leftnut]

Thanks, been researching some probably time to think about a new build.

 

[Larkstarr]

Yeah, the 460 is still pretty solid. You need to move on from the C2D's before a video card upgrade will have any real effect on your system.
