Hello I don't know much about computers but I was wondering if anyone can help me find a decent Graphics card for my computer my specs are:
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 980 3.70 GHz
Ram 8GB
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series
I was trying to get a better graphics card so I could play Black Ops 4 when the beta comes out so any help would be gladly accepted.
 
Good news and bad news. The good news is you have a very fast Phenom II X4, and if you're going to game on that platform then that's the best CPU to have. The bad news is these new games are getting very demanding on the CPU. I imagine this multiplayer only game will be a bit more demanding than the last COD game, so if you know how your CPU performs in that game then you'll have an idea what to expect.

In terms of videocard. although the HD 69xx was a beast back in the day, even lower end new gaming cards are more capable. You probably have a strong power supply, since your current card uses a lot of power, so you should be able to power anything you might conceivably want.

The wildcard is motherboard compatibility. Some older motherboards can be finicky with new videocards. Assuming you'd pick a new card, a 1050 Ti would be about the most I'd pair with it. Then just tune the game settings for best performance.
 


My Motherboard is a Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. GA-990XA-UD3 if that makes it easier I want a Graphics card that will fit in my pc and one that is relatively affordable something that is most bang for the buck. If you could send me some links of graphics card that would be compatible with my PC than I will be very grateful.
