Hi all,
First post here and I would appreciate any sound advice in upgrading my video card. Currently have a Gainward Nvidia GTX 650 ti 2Gb and would like another Nvidia with a spend of £150 to £200.
My Rig is a self build from 2013 for general use and some gaming, with spec as follows:
Coolermaster HAF Case with Noctua case fans
OCZ pro 850W power supply
Asus P8Z77-V motherboard with Intel Z77 chipset LGA1155 WiFi ATX
Intel i5 – 3570K processor, Quad core 3.4Ghz Noctua heatsink and fan
2 x 4GB Corsair XMS3 (1600mhz)
Gainward Nvidia GTX 650 ti 2Gb
Corsair Neutron GTX SSD 120gb
Western digital 1TB Caviar Black 64Mb Cache
It all runs pretty quietly and coolly, and handles older games pretty well, but it is struggling a bit on games like GTA V, where it is swapping out VRAM to HDD when it all gets too busy on screen and i would like to be able to crank the graphics options up some more.
Could this rig make good use of something like a GTX 1050 ???
Thanks in advance
Mike
