GPU For Gaming

[Rtoder209]

I currently have a GTX 760 and a i5 4670 CPU for gaming.

I am wanting to upgrade my GPU for sure to at LEAST a GTX 970 for 1080p gaming. However, I could possibly get a GTX 980 / 980 TI without changing the CPU, or a GTX 970 and upgrading to a 4770 CPU.

Basically, would it be best for me to go with a GTX 970 and a 4770 CPU, or a GTX 980 / 980 TI without changing the CPU.

Thanks!

youve probably got a prebuild gaming system, i highly recommand to upgrade that too.
for 1080p it doesnt matter if u get a 970 or 980 ti.

so get a gtx 970, another option is to wait till june for the polaris/pascal gpus.

the i5 are fine and wont bottleneck. wait a bit till more games start using hyperthreading or more cpu cores. in a few weeks the newer pascal gpu will be out pick one of them up.

I built my PC myself. What do you mean i should upgrade that too? Theres no need to upgrade anything else really

Is pascal a feature within a GPU or a brand that makes GPUs?

than i was wrong.

be carefull with generic powersupplies.

I wouldn't upgrade anything just yet until we see performance benchmarks from the upcoming next gen GPUs from Nvidia and AMD, although Nvidia is sure to kick AMDs behind in whatever competition they have going on

Will they release new GPUs for this or will it be a added feature to existing cards or something?

Pascal in short are the New GPUs coming from Nvidia this summer, of course they will perform a lot better than current gen GPUs. Now aint the right time to buy GPUs, better hold on a couple of months and get Next gen GPUs from AMD/Nvidia. Deals will be much better then
Polaris from AMD also seems great imo

Pascal is the codename for Nvidia's newest creation, that's all.

They will be new GPUs entirely

The one with the gtx 980ti will be substantially better
