Hey there,
(I'm writing this thread for a friend that can't register on the site for some reason)
I have had this Graphics card for a while now and I need an upgrade as it doesn't run games as smooth as I'd like it too, I've had it for around 1 year now and it's not working as I expected.

Here are my current specs that I run :

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10GHz

Video Card Intel(R) HD Graphics

Video Card #2 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti

RAM 8.0 GB

(I want to upgrade the NVIDIA GeForce)

I just need a graphics card that will be able to run a 1080p game with around 60fps.

My budget is around 200$ to spend.

My graphics card could be alright but I might need to upgrade my CPU, any ideas?

Thanks!

if you want 1080 with decent fps high settings, then you need both a new gpu and a cpu


a rx 470 is a good choice


You also need to get an i5 compatible with your mobo, start with the gpu first

I'll probably try looking into getting a new GPU first then a new CPU, just need one that will fit my specs and is worth the money I spend to run somewhat on max settings without fps drops.
Thanks for the suggestions

Thanks for the reply, I pretty much forgot about this thread, haha.

I want to have a variety of cards I can pick which will fit my system best, Any CPU's you guys could recommend?

Assuming you're sticking with your current board, and if there is a compatible bios for it, Id say go i7-2600 or 2600K
they're pretty easy to find used for $100 or less

whoa hey this one's a steal!!! only 1 day left, get it if you can!!
