    [SOLVED] Gpu upgrade 6 year old pc

    There seems to be quite a few gtx 1070s on Craigslist for $200 in my area, do you think a 1070 would be worth it? If I understand correctly the 1070 has a bit more brute strength but the 1660 ti is future proof.

    [SOLVED] Gpu upgrade 6 year old pc

    This was my first build, I probably put in 100 hours of research, making sure I was using my budget as efficiently as possible. The fact that I was still playing most games at a steady 60 FPS on ultra goes to show how my research paid off, and/or I got really lucky and was able to upgrade to a...

    [SOLVED] Gpu upgrade 6 year old pc

    Whoops, definitely Corsair, had EVGA on the brain. And with the g sync I meant the update that added g sync support to a lot of free sync monitors. I know my Titan supports g sync, but I can’t run it with my freesync monitor. Previously I had only seen that you need a 10 or 20 series to do it...

    [SOLVED] Gpu upgrade 6 year old pc

    The other thought I had is to buy another Titan for about $150 on eBay and running SLI, though I don’t know if SLI really benefits FPS or higher resolution. And I’m that case I would 100% have to upgrade my psu.

    [SOLVED] Gpu upgrade 6 year old pc

    I was afraid of this, although moving to a 3770k isn’t that big of a deal, the little bump in performance would be nice. And after selling my 3570k on eBay it won’t be that expensive. The 1660 TI is a reasonable price point, though does it have added g-sync compatibility like the 10 and 20...

    [SOLVED] Gpu upgrade 6 year old pc

    I bought a new monitor, 1080p 144hz. I can currently push about 100-144 FPS in most games with my current build, but I want to be able to get a fairly steady 144 FPS with max or almost max settings on Borderlands 3 when it comes out. Picking a gpu 6 years ago was easy, amd was basically garbage...

    Upgrade from a gtx titan

    Thanks for the quick and thorough answer. I can definitely wait, I'll probably pick up a new PSU in the meantime. I figured cards now have become more efficient to the point where I would be okay even with a more powerful card but I suppose I'd rather be safe and sorry.

    Upgrade from a gtx titan

    I am currently running a rig with an intel 3570k, 8gb ddr3 1600MHz, and a GTX titan. I know that my ram is currently a bottle neck and plan on adding 8gb more. I wanted to buy a whole new set with faster clock speed but I had no idea the jump in price RAM has gone through so I'm just getting a...

    Possible upgrade from gtx 670 ftw

    I am going to buy buying BF4 and would like to be able to play with decent fps at close to max settings. I currently have this gtx 670 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130787. Ive been reading that the nvidia cards are lacking when it comes to bf4, so I am thinking about...
