How much better of a GPU is this?

[shoob0x]

My current GPU is a Radeon HD 2600 Pro 512MB, and I'm buying a 650 ti. How much better of a GPU is it? Yes, I know. Old generation. Might as well build a new PC, well I am, but I want this PC to be the best as it can before I build a new one and the best my board can support is a 650 ti

That is an AMAZING upgrade make sure the 650 Ti is 2GB not 500mb or it will be poo xD

The gtx 650ti is a decent card. Its build to run medium games on medium graphics. Its not amazing but it does the job.

Will a 1gb 650 ti still be good? I sort of already bought it xD

Its just fine. You wont run into any problem if you just run at 1920x1080p (or lower) on medium / high settings with now days games

Alright, thank you. You seem quite knowledgable. Would you mind if I asked your opinion on my plans for my next build?

sure

That's a great upgrade considering what you had before. If you can, I'd say try and stretch out a bit and get the GTX 660 or the GTX 660ti.

thats a really good spec. Just be ware that not all games support SLI so your gpu's may perform as 1 gpu will, but else really beast rig. Nice cpu cooler aswell. Just abit better than mine

 

[shoob0x]

Haswells supposedly get really toasty so I'll need a good cooler like that

You could save a little bit of money by sticking with an 8GB kit of RAM and a decent 600-650W PSU if you're not gonna SLI in the future and opt for a GTX 770 instead of the 760

Other than that, excellent choices

The best my board will support is a 650 ti

Mobos are quite cheap as well if you can save for one.

Eh, I'm building a new PC soon so I won't put anymore money into this than I have to.

Do you really need the 4gb of vram?

4gb each yah, I want to play at high resolutions

4gb is if your going to be dual monitering. 2gb is more than plenty lol, unless your talking about resolutions beyond 1080p??

 

[rolandzhang3]

Woops didn't see the x2, 4GB is definitely recommended for multi displays (resolutions above 1080p) since two 2GB cards would still be using 2GB

Two 760s are more powerful than a single 780 so you should be fine, would be great if you could fit two 770s into your budget though :lol:

This gentleman I spoke to said 760s have the best $ to power so I'll stick with them. I need to save a bit of money for a nice big SSD
