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 But is my system way too outdated and need to be upgraded to play games in ultra setting?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!

QUOTE(R3b0rn @ Jun 24 2017, 03:09 PM) 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.. |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Jun 24 2017, 03:34 PM) 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. Alright thanks... QUOTE(R3b0rn @ Jun 24 2017, 03:48 PM) 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 How abt 970? Still ok? |

QUOTE(TristanX @ Jun 24 2017, 05:33 PM) Too close to brand new Leadtek GTX 970 Hurricane. Viewnet selling that at RM949. Better get that 1 instead of used right.. Got warranty.. In term of performance more or less the same, no? |
