Yes. It won't be affecting the gpu performance.

As both is about the same, I would go and check the color display personally if I were you. Anyways, the acer is a bit warm to my liking. Don't know about the aoc.

[Budget] RM4,000

[Purpose] Mostly Gaming and some graphic design work

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Monitors , SSD and I just bought a new GTX1070 ITX.

[Monitor resolution] Currently running on 3 Monitors DELL U2417H. 1920x1080 is fine for me.

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Wildlands, Battlefield 1 and Warhammer Total War, sometimes Dota 2.

[Personal preferences] I'm looking to build a MINI CPU for easy traveling and moving. I do move my pc up and down when I go back home for holidays. Found this rig on youtube, the casing looks nice and small. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1zdt2-SJLg )
I'm also looking if possible to add extra fans for it? Since the GPU only has 1 fan.

Thank you

Hi, Im considering on upgrading my HD6870 card but worried that I will bought a card which will be bottleneck by other hardware of my current system. Frankly speaking, Im considering on HD7970 second hand. But is my system way too outdated and need to be upgraded to play games in ultra setting?

Btw, should I add my ram from 8GB to 16GB? Currently on Windows 10 Pro..

[Budget] Depending on suggestion but would like to put it as low as possible.

[Purpose] Gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] FX6300, GA-970A-D3, 8GB, 750 PSU, HDD, and HD6870.

[Monitor resolution] Currently running on 2 Monitors with 1920x1080 and 1600x800 respectively. Gaming mainly on 1920x1080.

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Steam

[Personal preferences] Prefer Radeon but depending on the suggestion. Would like to play most game on ultra setting.

[Location] KL

Thanks in advance!

May I know your GPU Model?
SSD Model?

I suggest you hunt for 970 second hand if you really tight of budget
GPU can select from RX 580, GTX 1060 or 1070. But due to crypto mining, that card is hard to find, you may go lowyat and hunt for it.
Upgrade 16GB is okay, if you have budget left.

Prices raging from 1.5k ~ 2.3k depend on which brand and which GPU.

So I do not need to upgrade my system for the time being? Wont bottleneck either?

Nvidia is ok? Since my mobo more towards amd?

Sorry if I ask a lot though..

How about these?

Core i7-7700 - 1352
Gigabyte H270N-WIFI - 649
Corsair 8GB DDR3-1600 x2 - 520
WD Black 1TB 2.5" - 299
Silverstone SFX 600W - 569
Silverstone ML08B or Fractal Design Node 304 case - 339 (estimated)/369

RM3728/3758 total (C-Zone prices)

I suggest you try to wait for the graphic card prices stabilize. Currently very high due to demand. Thanks to bitcoin miners.

As for the RAM, stay 8GB until you can upgrade entire PC.

Try overclock it? it will reduce bottleneck but still depends on what games you play.
RX 580, and GTX 1060 is a good start for GPU upgrades. [I take back the GTX 1070 recommendation, its not worthy]

Then in future you have budget then only upgrade the rest

having AMD mobo does not mean you stuck with AMD forever
