Hi Guys,

 

 

 

My pc is currently running a AMD r7 260x GPU with i5 750 2.66ghz processor.  I am thinking of upgrading the GPU (Along with a ssd) so games like battlefield 1, titanfall 2 etc run a lot better than 20-30fps.

 

 

 

But I'm not sure if this will give me the performance I need as my CPU is quite old.

 

 

 

So please tell if me if it is worth getting a new graphics card say radeon RX 470.  Or is it a waste of time/money given my CPU?

 

 

 

Thanks

Hey guys,

 

 

 

Yesterday I got a new Saphire nitro+ RX470 4gb and a 600w Be Quiet PSU.

 

Battlefield 1 runs great at 45-60fps on High settings.

 

Titanfall 2 also runs great at close to ultra settings too.

 

I'm pretty stoked with performance so far (I don't care about getting 60+ FPS) although I haven't yet spent a fair amount of time testing it.

 

 

 

So I guess even with an old i5 750 2.6ghz cpu and 12gb ram you can still get decent FPS playing the latest games.

 

Have a look at this link for reference if you are like me and have a older cpu.

Next year I will look at upgrading the CPU and motherboard etc.

 

 

 

cheers
