gpu upgrade, which one

[dal]

Hi all as the title says I want to upgrade my gpu, what would be a worthwhile upgrade to go with my current system - specs in sig .not going to be playing latest games but when I play Factorio it struggles a bit when there's a lot going on.
Don't want to spend much over £100

Cheers

Second hand will give you the best bang for buck, but if you wish to buy a brand new card then something like an R7 370 (which start at around £110) would deliver a very nice boost in performance. If that's too much, then look at the R7 360's - which are roughly the same speed as a 260X.

Whatever you decide to do, overlock your i5.

Might go for a 670 GTX, 2nd hand.
As for overclocking my i5 I've not managed to get it much over 3ghz with it stable (all I know about overclocking is clock * multiplier gives you your speed)

I went for it, put a bid on a second hand one but got outbid a couple of times so decided to spend a bit more & get a new one. Just need to overclock my CPU now.

Thanks for your help

Yep got the 770, got it for £126.99 & I've got a Lynfield 750 i5 (now running at 3.2 ghz)
. The used one I put a bid on sold for £122 so I feel like I've got a good deal.

hell yea, OP should be getting 3.8 all day. couldn't get mine prime stable at 4.2 though I didn't play too much with the volts!

All I've done is increased the bclk & got it to 3.4 but got a cpu alarm, don't know what the temp was but must have been over 70c so I dropped it back to 3.2 . I don't know anything about volts or timings, that's my next step I think .

Done a 3DMARK11 test with old card & new card :

Spoiler

I've not tried it out with any games yet but it looks promising.
