Hi, I have a very old computer system and mostly use it for gaming world of warcraft and streaming udang. To me it seems fast enough although nowadays to play WoW i have to set video settings to 3 out of max settings of 10 for it to run smoothly. Will solely by changing a graphics card help?

Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3 GHz
ASUS P8P67 Deluxe 2xPCIe x16
Corsair DDR3 1333 Mhz 8GB (2x4GB)
Coolermaster Hyper 212+
Silverstone Strider Essential 500W
Sapphire 7850 2GB 256bit DDR5 OC
OCZ vertex 3 SSD
Dell U3011 monitor

My gaming resolution is 2560x1600. Now it seems graphics card price are coming down abit. Msia ringgit also stronger. Also with the craze of crypto mining, i also feel like wanna try abit, but mining is not main priority, just an added bonus. Will swapping out just the GFX to a 1070 or 1080 yield the best result or will my mobo and CPU be too old that just getting a 1060 will be good cause a 1070 will yield same result as a 1060 on my computer? Also if 1070ti and 1080 price difference is RM 200 (based on newegg price) which is better choice?

My pc graphics card likely failed after 4 years of usage. Is it lpossible to get good deal of GTX1070 from lazada? Or I am better off ordering EVGA 1070 from Amazon with international warranty

Got the MSI 1070 TI armor after my Radeon 7850 2GB died.

Hi, is my motherboard able to support 3 x 1070 ti?

2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x16 or dual x8)
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black)
2 x PCIe 2.0 x1
2 x PCI

Thanks, tried taking out my current gfx and tried to fit it into the last slot. As what you mentioned, the last slot is right at the edge and there is a hard disc cage there so I cannot fit the card into last slot due to the casing cage blocking it. Always thought my Silverstone FT-02 casing is huge, but seems like it's not huge enough.

Galax is a brand from Taiwan like Asus or is it a german brand?
