GPU card upgrade path thread search

[Dan Knowlton]

I've been trying to find a thread that I saw that had recommendations for upgrading older video cards - the basic layout was Nvida and Radeon cards arranged according to capability and the recommendation was that you upgrade when there was a "gap" of three cards.

FYI - I'm temporarily "recycling" a 9600GT from an older computer in a new build. I had built one and my wife basically said "well, that's mine, build your own :lol: ." So we now have two newer computers. "My" build

ASUS P8Z68-PRO
i5-2500K
Corsair XMS3 - 16gb
Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM
Plextor CD/DVD burner
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus
COOLER MASTER Silent Pro RS850 PSU
Silenex fans

At this point I'm debating a 6950 with 2gb vs lots of others

Yes, that is it! I searched for about 5 days before I asked but never used "Hierarchy" in the search. Thank you VERY MUCH! From the chart, it looks like it is REALLY time to upgrade.

No worries the search has never worked for me, most of us old hands keep these charts and such bookmarked so next time just ask
