Windows 10: Upgrading Graphics Card?

Well, there is a BIG 500 in red numbers... Does it count?

 

It is also an ATX form factor. I thought it had been said the PSU is OK.

 

You're a bit late to the party for adding snark.

 

I'm not much into gaming, so I can't make recommendations based on familiarity.

A little quick Googling produced a recommendation for a GTX 470 for a WoW expansion pack. That would be roughly equivalent to a 750 ti.

If you're willing to part with $150, then I suggest the 950. I don't know how long you'd keep the upgraded system, but I suppose that a 900 series card will have better driver support in the future than a 700 series card.

(At newegg.com, there's an MSI 960 for $170, but with a $20 rebate. Just at your budget limit. It's a slightly better card than the 950.)

Maybe an AMD card would give better price/performance. I've used a few of those over the years, but I always find myself going back to nVidia. I'd try to sell you an old 7970, but it probably wouldn't be a good fit in your system. ;-)

I swapped my Geforce 750ti or whatever it was for the current AMD one, I am beginning to doubt my wisdom. Far Cry 2 Fortunes Edition should be running at top whack on my card, ( Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 380 Nitro 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card (PCI Express 3.0, HDMI 1.4, DVI-I, DVI-D, D) I have had to drop it from ultra high to optimal - eg: high because FC 2 crashes on me. I know its video connected but not what.

On the video card benchmark link, its way dowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn the list!! Not happy

Which one???


Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 380 Nitro 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card (PCI Express 3.0, HDMI 1.4, DVI-I, DVI-D, D
MSI NVIDIA GTX 970 Gaming Twin Frozr HDMI DVI-I DP Graphics Card (4GB, PCI Express, DDR5, 256 Bit)
