My PC has a GeForce GTX 750 Ti Galaxy OC 2GB Edition GPU, Xeon E5450 CPU and 8GB 800Mhz RAM. I can't play Doom 4 but it's still enough for almost everything to me.
Since summer 2016, I think, the drivers for my gpu have been problematic. Geforce Experience is not working in anyway, drivers sometimes stop for a second giving a blackscreen and exiting games and I also suspect Civilization VI crashes due to other driver related problems because I already tried suggestions for that problem.
I wrote to Nvidia Customer Care about it and they told to disable all services to see if sth interfered and I did disable most services but the problems persisted. Their other suggestion was to stick to the old driver and wait for a new driver. I have been installing newer drivers but the problem never ceased and even downloading the drivers are often problematic so I'm tired with it.
I don't know which was the last driver that worked without a problem. I wonder if being stuck with old drivers matters much because I hear update your graphics driver to the latest version for many things.
I also think of buying a new PC but even if I do I'll use this GTX 750 ti because I'll give my laptop at work to my mother and move this old PC to my work office. From what I've seen many nvidia users experience driver problems and I wonder if AMD GPUs have less driver problems.
It also seemed to me that many games list to a varying degree a less powerful/cheaper AMD GPU compared to the Nvidia GPU in the same section in system requirements.
I'm not the kind of guy that expects to play everything in high settings but the next time I buy a PC I think it may better be able to handle virtual reality for a long time.
Maybe I'll wait to build sth with a Vega GPU and Ryzen 5 CPU.
Any input is appreciated.
