Make my 970 perform like a 750ti?

[McGraw]

Hi.

I'm looking to upgrade my dad's pc for him to be able to play arma 3 at an acceptable level and despite dropping res to 720p and minimal details, it's still not enjoyable.

I'm considering a 750ti for him to replace his 470. I think his i5 760 should be ok when overclocked.

Is there any way I can artificially limit my 970 to approximate 750ti performance?

Don't want to be buying cards and sending back.

Thanks.

Afraid not, you'll need to look at benchmarks.

Overclock that i5 760 beforehand as ARMA 3 is very CPU bound.

Also I am not sure on how the 470 compares to the 480 but Anandtech's bench charts show that a 750ti cannot keep up with the 480 in most games.

Here is the comparison between your 970 and the potential 750ti

Thanks I was going to oc his cpu.

Hmm looks like the 750ti won't be much of an upgrade for him.

Might get him to hang on for the 960 and see what happens to the price of 770s.

Might even push him towards a 290.
