Please help me find a decent GPU upgrade.

[minibot7]

I currently have the GTX 650 Ti. I've noticed that it doesn't perform very well when i was playing Assassin's Creed BF yesterday. Especially when there's a lot of trees. I'm not sure if it's the cpu's problem or the gpu's problem. If you think my GPU is not good enough please help me select an upgrade for my 650 Ti that's under $200. Thanks for the help!

What CPU do you have? Looking at trees takes tesselation, but the CPU could be handling Rigid-Body physics, which could be lowering FPS.

I'm not next to my own computer right now so I'm not very sure. I know it's one of the AMD FX series. I think it's the FX 6300

Then you are definitely fine in the CPU area. It could be your GPU. Turn down settings and tell me if your FPS increases. Out of curiosity, how do you reply on mobile? I can't figure it out.

I'm not replying on mobile, I'm using another computer. Since I'm not near my computer I can't really try it right now. What do you say is a good upgarde for 650 Ti right now? I'm really looking forward to the Assassin's Creed Unity, and Tom Clancy's The Division. You know a good card that can handle these two on max and below the $200 line?

A Radeon R9 270X from MSI should do the job. First, see if FPS increases when you lower settings. That will rule out a CPU bottleneck.

GTX 660 is recommended since AC IV and The Division are optimized for NVIDIA GPUs.

Then in that case, GTX 750 Ti or maybe the GTX 760 if you budget can fit it.

is GTX 750 Ti a big leap from 650 Ti?

 

[Joseph DeGarmo]

A GTX 750 Ti is not much of an upgrade at all, but a GTX 660 is considerably faster, though not by a whole lot. The only GPU worth upgrading to is a GTX 760 or R9-270X, but they will be slightly above your budget.

750 Ti is almost twice the performance of a 650 Ti. It is two generations ahead of the 650 Ti as well. Kepler vs Maxwell. Better power management as well.

Uh, no. Both GPUs have nearly identical performance. The only difference is power consumption.

The 650 Ti has more shader units, yet the 750 Ti manages a higher texture rate and floating point performance.
