I have had the Nvidia GTX 460 1GB for a while now and i just ordered The Asus R7 370 2GB , did i make a good upgrade decision? Will i notice a difference? I want to play the new starwars battlefront game at least on high settings as well as GTA V on high settings, will this card be capable? right now i played the beta for starwars battlefront and i was only able to play low multiplayer and medium on local. i am running a 1080p monitor. please help, thank you!

my specs are:
AMD 6 core 6300 series (4.1 ghz)
12gb of gskill ram
asus atx mobo
1tb hardrive wd
windows 7 Ultimate
Nvidia gtx 460

Just Google r7 370 gt benchmarks to get an idea.

Battlefront might have benches out too

What psu do you have though. The 370 probably needs a lot more power than your old one.

The time to ask is BEFORE you buy.
Now, it is a moot point.

Try your games and see.
It is not clear to me if your limits will be graphics or CPU.

You made a good choice and you will see a definite improvement in gaming performance. I highly recommend your next performance upgrade should be an SSD.

As far as VIDEO CARD goes, that is a phenomenal upgrade with 7 tiers performance difference per Tom's Hardware's own 'graphics card performance hierarchy chart'
