Upgrading an old PC for Titanfall

[Zatoichi.uK]

Hi chaps,

So I'm pretty interest in getting my hands of Titanfall next month but haven't upgraded my PC for a looooong time. I'm looking to buy a graphics card to hopefully make the game reasonable looking if possible, without spending more than I have to since it will probably be bottle necked quite badly. This build was from 2008 if memory serves correctly.

My current specs are:

Core2 [email protected]
OCZ Agility 3 SSD
Asus P5Q Pro
4Gb DDR@1333

My old g/card failed on me so currently has a £20 piece of junk in so I could continue generic PC use.

Can anyone recommend me some graphics cards without spending too much please? Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks

A 270X/GTX 760 for £150-£200 would do you nicely

What is your budget?

To be honest the whole PC needs upgrading.

Budget is probably up to £150 but preferably under £100. I'm not too fussed with bumping the graphics up and just want it to run smoothly. I'll be running at 1080p hopefully.

I know the whole PC needs upgrading but I focus more on console gaming these days. It's only Titanfall that has got my interest as an old school UT player.

How would something like this fair?

Meh, it would work just fine but don't expect max settings out of it - an R9 270/R7 260 would be a better bet for a small amount more

Thanks. I don't mind spending a little more. Just not sure how bottlenecked something like a 260 would be. DX11 obviously is no good to me etc.

Await the mythical 265

Ofc yeah, that looks like a great card for the price

reasonable gfx card like 260x which yu can carry over to a new build and get hold a cheap second hand core 2 quad cpu to tide you over until a new system like a q9450 and then overclock it. the p5q line supports all core 2 quads if i remember corectly
