    [SOLVED] Advice on CPU for HP Microserver Gen8 ESXi server- Xeon E3-1260L?

    GTX760 or GTX770?

    Hi I am thinking of upgrading my GPU. At first I was confident a GTX760 would do the job, but now I'm considering the GTX770. It's quite a bit more expensive, but it might just do the job better and mean i'll probably not have to upgrade ever for now. At the moment, I don't play many...
