Which GPU to Install in my PC ?

[Chandan_Naik]

I want to install a second GPU for my PC.

Folowing are my System Specifications.
1. Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R 2.0.
2. Processor: AMD FX-8350.
3. GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6670.
4. RAM: Corsair Vengence 8GB X 1.
5. Operating System: Windows 8.1

I want to have a second graphic card, I need help with this regard. Any help with this regard would be appreciated. Thank You

Don't CF that card will be pants, just sell it and grab a decent single card to pair 8350 with, something like a 380 or the new 380x

Also the 2nd pci-e slot will only be running @ 4x speed, though the drop off from 8x isn't as much as you would imagine its far from ideal

Agreed. Don't crossfire those. If you could tell us make and model of your PSU along with a price range we could suggest some better options.

Thanks for your reply. Can you give me all options with the GPU that i can install to my PC.

I would go for something like a 380/380x, even amd don't recommend pairing 8350 with anything above those, but you could go 970/390 (new PSU needed)

Thanks for the help. The GPU which you mentioned is a bit too pricey. Can you suggest me a good GUP in mid-range.

how much do you wanna spend? 380 is very mid range

I'm from India and it almost costs me $350, anything under $200 would be great. Thanks

I'm unaware of local prices, so maybe a link to where you are looking at and I can maybe help

How much will a 750 Ti 4GB cost you?

Thanks for your reply. Can you give me all options with the GPU that i can install to my PC.

With your PSU:

AMD: R7 360, R7 370 & R9 380
Nvidia: GTX 750ti, 950, 960 & 970

GTX 970 being the best performing. Then the GTX 960/R9 380. For you I would recommend GTX 960 and is ~$200

I think 750 Ti is affordable.

Here's the link to where I looked it down.
