What Graphics Card to Buy?

[sassyangel112]

Hi,

I recently bought a HTC Vive and need to upgrade my Graphics Card to use it. I know absolutely nothing about computers so I need all the help I can get! I have an AMD FX-8320 CPU and MSI 760GM-P34(FX) Mobo. Which graphics cards are compatible with this and how do I measure my case to make sure the new card will fit? My current graphics card is AMD Radeon R7 200 Series.

Thanks so much!
Deandra

What is your PSU? Most GPU's are compatible with most motherboards. It depends on your PSU.

Due to your CPU I wouldn't recommend you anything higher than a gtx 1060. Combined with a higher range card your gaming performance would probably be bottlenecked. I don't think that it is worth it for you spending almost €150 more for a gtx 1070 if it underperforms combined with your CPU.

Best regards
