[IIIAbhishekIII]

Hello everyone. I want to upgrade my GPU. Here is my system Specs:

1. Mother board: Intel® Desktop Board DH55TC http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-dh55tc.html

2. Processor: Intel Core i3 530 @ 2.93 GHz (LGA1156 socket)

3. Power Supply: VIP Model 600W

4. Expansion Capabilities of Mother Board:
One PCI Express* 2.0 x 16 bus add-in card connector
Two PCI Express 2.0 x 1 connectors
One PCI Conventional bus connector


*Info: I want to play Tomb Raider Reboot, Crysis 3, Battle Field 4, GTA IV and V and Assasins Creed Series.


My questions:

1. Does AMD R9 285 support my system? Currently I've Asus 1GB graphic card with DDR3 VRAM.

2. What is the best graphic card I can buy for my motherboard?

3. Does PCIe 16x Gen 3.0 graphic cards with GDDR5 VRAM won't boost my system which has PCIe 2.0? OR It will provide the same performance or slightly less?


I'll really appreciate if you help me out, I'm noob at all these and I badly need help, thank you!

Yes 285 supports your system, w/o any compatibilities issues and you won't gain any performance with a PCIe 3.0 MoBo. However, I'd not recommend that card unless you can tell the Amps on 12V line, the card is 190W TDP.

36A is fine for the card, yes the CPU will bottleneck in intensive titles, but if you're going to upgrade the CPU or rig soon, then you should get that card, it'll compliment any current rig well. If you plan to remain with the current CPU for a couple more years, GTX 750 Ti is what I'd recommend which would not be waste of money, R9 270 at the max.
