Nhadala Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 So, tomorrow, hopefully, im getting paid, but since this is Greece, we never know. And its time to finally upgrade my graphics card. My Ati Radeon 5770 has been doing well for years but its time to shelve it for better things. My budget is around 200-250 Euro depending on how much im getting paid. I need some recommendations, what should i purchase? Whats the best graphics card available for that price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Desire Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 i'm not a tech person but it might be in best interest if you tell us what kind of PC you have, i'm not quite certain if all graphics cards will be compatible with every motherboard but i've run into issues when buying a graphics card that didn't fit inside my PC case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nhadala Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 I dont think that that will be an issue because a few months back i recently upgraded a whole bunch of stuff to get my Intel Core i3-4130 CPU, like upgrading my ram from 4 GB to 8 GB and stuff, where do i find what i have inside my PC?

Hexagoen Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 go and search in the start bar for your device manager and it should be there. for example, when i look at processors, i see that i have an AMD radeon r4 graphic card (that i need to change soon) hope this helps!

Xenome Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I can't reccomend an exact card without a detailed list of what you actually have in the computer but NVidia is generally my favorite Brand, and they usually have the next to latest edition in a smaller size if thats an issue. At least in the US. I cant make a gaurantee for Greece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres too much stuff there and im not sure whats important and what isnt. Anyway could you guys tell me what you want to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Edge Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I just got a GTX 950 recently and I'm really happy with it. I'd suggest something in the 900 family, it's currently the most cost efficient card you can get. Actually, that's an on board GPU, literally almost anything would be an upgrade for you, heh. Check what type of motherboard you have and make sure you have the correct PCi slot for whatever GPU you want to get as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nhadala Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 A card was recommended to me, it is an Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti. How good is this card and is it worth getting 4 gigs of vram for an extra 50 euros instead of the normal 2 gigs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Edge Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 The 750 is pretty good as well, I was going to get a 750 but I couldn't find any around here and I'm super impatient. Most games currently don't need 4 GB of vram, but that might not continue to be the case soon, so that's up to you. If the extra 50 euros isn't a big deal go for it I guess.

Nhadala Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Ive decided to go a big leg further and upgrade to the Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 It costs only a bit more and is a whole ton better in terms of performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Edge Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 EYYYYY very nice choice, the 960 should see you through the next couple years in terms of gpu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
