whats my bottleneck?

[curtis1222]

Just wondering where the weak point is in my system looking to spend some money upgrading. Im looking to play battlefield 4 on high settings spec is as follows;

Asus sabertooh p67 motherboard
Intel i7 2600k
8GB 1600Mhz DDR3
2 x ocz agility 3 60gb in raid 0
Nvidia gtx 550ti
850w corsair power supply

The GPU needs an upgrade , a gtx 970 will do the deed.

The gpu is easily the weakest link. What's your upgrade budget?

 

[curtis1222]

Around £150

A GTX 760 will fit within your budget and is much better than your current GPU. But the GTX 960 will launch soon, so wait for that to be released. It should be somewhere around £160 to £180.

brilliant some tidy advice, i dont really get nvidias way of naming their cards, what dose the 9 stand for? im guessing the last two digits just represent the pricing?

 

[Joseph DeGarmo]

The 9 stands for 900 series GPUs, which is the newest generation of Nvidia cards. The last two numbers represent the performance level, ranging from 10 being the lowest and 80 being high-end. In the 700 series lineup, the GTX 750 (both the vanilla and Ti variants) and the GTX 760 are considered mid-range. At this time, the GTX 970 and 980 are the only 900 series cards which have been released so far.
