Upgrade from gts 250 to GT 630 2 gb? is it worth it? will i see improvement?

[zednz]

Hi i want to upgrade my gpu to handle high settings in game and still get decent frames.. like Battlefield, Arma, Ps2, and >>FSX<<

My Specs:
Cpu: i5 750
Gpu: Gigabyte GTS 250 1gb @( core: 740 Shader: 1850 Memory: 1000)
Psu: CM 500 watt
Mobo: Gigabyte p55-ud3
RAM: 4gb kingston @ 1333 (thinking of buying 8gb or extra 4 G.skill)
Resolution: 1280x 1024

I live in NZ so i cant really use sites like newegg and amazon... but i found this at a very cheap price from a local site
http://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/Gigabyte-GeForce-GT-630-2GB-DDR3/20960232/

i was wondering if i would see any improvement from this and if it was worth buying

So if anyone can help me out and suggest how to improve my system that would be great as im only a beginner and don't know if something is bottlenecking my graphics or what.

My budget is @ about $200 NZD but would like to save money so i can get cpu cooler and new ram... i could make it more if it was worth it

Thankyou

all gts250 are based on GDRR3. nvidia just starts using GDDR5 with 400 series. did you tried playing around with drivers yet?

yuhp ive tried updating them even ocing it didnt see much improvement if any

ok ignore that i just reinstalled card and drivers from start and idk but now its fine running planetside 2 and 30 fps on max settings with out dropping

gts 250 is ddr3 ? if thats true then 7750/7770 will be a nice upgrade

always suspect the softwares before to make changes on the hardware though in your case i think it might bit of both. you can keep your setup as it is or upgrade to something better. as i mention above don't go any lower than 7770 class performance if you can. if you don't have the money right now it's time to save.
