Should I upgrade my 8400gs

[jeffrey.fu.103]

Hi there, I have a Nvidia 8400gs installed right now in my system, I'm considering upgrading to a GT710. I only do really, really, light gaming. Right now I only play games like CODENAME:CURE which has the GTX 260 as the recommended GPU. I also play PES 2017, I'm hoping i can play 1080p low settings or 720p high settings ( I can play 720p medium with 30fps with the 8400gs). The GT 710 has double the core clock, quadruple the amount of vram, and alot more of, just, everything.

I've seen a lot of videos online about how bad the gt 710 is, but is it just for really, really, light gaming and is it a noticeable difference to the 8400gs in game.
Thanks a lot =)

Yes, anything modern, even a GT 710, is way better than the 8400s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve7Rc8Vwbz4
So a 710 is an inexpensive and yet much better solution than that old card

Thank you for quick reply
I agree, searched how old the 8400gs was, It's 10 years old with DDR2 vram.
I think DDR5 will be much faster,
I am defiantly getting the upgrade.

Honestly I would just get a used gt 730 since the gt 710 is quite a bit weaker than a gtx 260.
