wallywalrus_ Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm thinking about upgrading from 560ti to something more current that can handle newer games. Also my i5 2500k to a more current one If I upgrade my GPU, what one do I get so I don't bottleneck? I notice that my computer can run tf2 as it used to, on overclocked graphics using external scripts. I play tf2, cs:go, trine2, bioshock inf, war thunder My CPU: i5 2500K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice that my computer can run tf2 as it used to, on overclocked graphics using external scripts. I play tf2, cs:go, trine2, bioshock inf, war thunder My CPU: i5 2550K I wouldn't touch the cpu; current cpus aren't all that much better. Cpus really haven't made much progress in recent years--in computing power anyway. The only advantage to newer intel processors is better integrated graphics and better efficiency, everything else is more or less the same. And....gtx780.

What do you think of a 770. Also, my mistake, I have a 2500k, not 2550k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will need a 650 w psu right? I have that now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
There Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I will need a 650 w psu right? I have that now Yeah, that should work. If it's old, you might need to pick up a new one... but I wouldn't do that until you verify that it doesn't work. It'll probably work just fine if it's at all decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
