MSI Infinite S Upgrade Help

ChrisHibs87 · 11 Dec 2021 at 00:27

Hi, hope someone can give me some advice on upgrading my gaming PC. I bought it last year and its a MSI infinite s 9th gen. It currently has 1660 Super graphics card, 16gb ram, i5 processor. The new warzone map has made me have to turn my graphics settings way down to get the VRam bar out of the red.

I'm wondering what I can upgrade in this pc to help and where I should start. Would it be better just to sell it and buy a new one, I've read, for example, that I'm very limited in how good a graphics card I can have in this pc?

If you wanted to upgrade the current machine then you would need to check the how powerful the psu is and how many PCIe connectors you have etc and also that you find a GPU which will fit the case.

You'd probably want to also upgrade the CPU if it's a 9400F to a 8700/9900 otherwise it will struggle with a more powerful GPU.

If you wanted to do whole new PC build it would cost more but you'd have more freedom on parts but it would obviously depend on what sort of budget you to play with?

Looking at the spec it only fots a 350 or 450 (1U size) psu so that will seriously restrict the gpu you can fit and the specs only go up to a gtx 2060.

You might be better off selling and starting again otherwise buy a new micro-atx case and atx psu then refit into the new case.

What is the cpu? Warzone is quite heavy on cpu and the 1660s is still a decent mid range gpu, check gpu usage when you play.
