I've been on to the shop to look at upgrading my Zotac 660ti card to a R9 290 after much advice.

The guy in the shop however is saying for the money I am not going to see any significant difference in performance.

What do you guys think as I am seriously thinking of abandoning the idea of upgrading.

There is a review here and you can see the performance gain is quite a lot.

But though you have to think about the rest of your PC, perhaps the bottleneck could be something else

I think I'll be ok with bootleneck, I have a i5 3570k and plenty of ram.

It's just whether to get this one;





My Setup

Phantom 410 case (new)
Gigabyte Z77-D3H MB
i5 3570K cpu
Samsung Evo 840 250gb SSD
2tb Seagate 7200rpm HDD
8gb corsair vengeance ram (1600Mhz)
Asus Phoebus sound card
Zotac 660ti GPU
coolermaster 650psu
Windows 8.1

Anyone know wherer I can get a 6 pin to 8 pin molex the psu should be fine but I need an adaptor
 
How can I test this I have the card running not but I have noticed a few stutters in Grid 2 and even fifa when running other things in the background, although could be the cpu though I think a i5 3750k should be more than enough
