Hello All,

I currently have a HP GTX660 1.5GB DDR5 but im looking at getting a GTX750TI Gigabyte 2GB

Current Card
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-GTX660...845074?hash=item5b189b2692:g:uLAAAOSwEetV76wi

This would be the 750TI i would be getting

Could i see a massive improvement on the graphics with this?

Part ex my GFX card is £60 so i would only be paying £25 for this card the shop i use all get parts from OCUK

Regards
 
Ok thanks veyr much ill leave it then! what would be a good upgrade form this? a 950?

It would be an overall improvement, but not by that much ~ 15%. I would aim a little higher, if possible.

Ideally, I'd go for a GTX960 or something second hand. Have you considered an AMD card?

Peoples' mileage will vary, but personally speaking I can't tell the difference between them.
 
Could boost up the money to a 970 no problem then would i see a massive difference in graphics?

Considering i dont play games that need massive specs (Trackmania, Euro fishing, TF2 and CSGO)

You can go for a 970 or a 390 and either would see you well. What is the rest of your system before recommending and what resolution do you game at and what games are you currently playing and want to play?

Your FX4300 could be a bit of a bottleneck if you are gaming at 1080P but the games you are playing should be fine except possibly PCars. That is fairly demanding.

This is an older bench and maybe AMD have improved performance on this now but worth taking note between the 970 and the 390 (both roughly the same price). I personally would go with either and have no issues :)
