Gpu recommendation

[Chris.]

Hey, haven't posted in a while and I am yet again confounded by all of the new gpu's and not sure where to go.

I still have the rig in my sig and it still plays most games near max if not fully maxed out (only exceptions are Crysis 1 and 2, metro 2033 always worked nr max just without DOF and things i don't need but with a slower FR, which wasn't too bad after managing to clock to around 920 core etc etc)

Can i get away with supplementing my rig with a better gpu ti get back to maxing out, or will I need a better CPU/ram setup as well?

Obviously the other components may let it down as they are getting on a bit but I only really have the cash for a Gpu atm, and most of the time the processor isn't being too stressed on tests?

Any advice appreciated, because once again a few years has passed and my knowledge counts for nothing

Thanks, Chris.

Apologies for the bad grammar etc, hate typing on touchscreen!

Not as such, cheaper the better as long as it gets the job done

But I realise its going to be pricey to supplement my rig.

 

[Chris.]

Really? Was expecting to have to pay a little more but if that does the job then it does the job

Thanks man.

 

[Chris.]

So is my CPU/ram still enough to handle current games you reckon?

Thanks for the replies guys, will look into getting the 7870XT, any particular brand?
