Upgrade Time

[RickyM3]

I'm thinking it's time I get back into PC gaming after seeing my mates rig; three screens running off 2 680's.

Not going to go to that extreme but would like some advice. I'm thinking of getting Skyrim as a start and would like an idea of what would be a good card to run it.

I only have a GT610 as I just use the machine for media at the moment.

Machine Specs: i5 750 @ 3.6Ghz, 8Gb of 1600Mhz, 128Gb SSD.

Not really got a budget as of yet and am happy to have a go at OCing a new GPU

In truth Skyrim isn't that demanding being a DX9 title. It's DX11 titles (new games) that are demanding.

Cheers; will all of those cards play Skyrim with full detail etc??

Also I'm thinking about the new Tomb Raider game; what would these be like?

Yes, they will be fine.
