upgrading my gpu

[Wattersonjr]

Hey guys I bought a lenovo h50 and it has an apu. My frames in arma 3 are Lower than I would like for the server I'm playing on. How much fps bump would it give me to buy a r7 370 or maybe 360. Right now I'm running 20s. Hoping for 40s if possible.
Thanks!

I would also be interested in your opinions on a new card also
Thanks!

Although you may get a good boost with a graphics card, you made a mistake buying a pc with an apu for gaming. Arma 3 is very CPU power reliant, and none of the APUS/CPUs on the FM2+ platform are very good.

That said, I would suggest something like the gtx 750 ti to get the best performance possible out of your platform.

Yes I agree I made the mistake with the apu. Any idea what kind of a fps boost the new gpu would give. I'm also going to overclock the cpu

In less CPU bound games, you will get a large boost ( around double the performance), but not quite as much in something like arma 3 because it relys so much on having a fast CPU.

I see. Do u have an estimate on what it could give? I'm at 20 right now. Just wondering if it's worth the money. Haha.
