Author Topic: Should I upgrade my Processor?  (Read 2209 times)


What are you planning on playing?

i don't know i want to be prepared for anything

I have several games i can't play right now, such as Quantum Conundrum or Saints Row 3-4, Dishonored, and several more.

i got an extra ati5750 laying around. it can play skyrim and bf3 on nearly all ultra settings.

i can sells it to ya ;D

why would anyone WANT to do ultra thats just silly

gosh I might need to upgrade my power supply while im at it

again, whats your budget for the video card

how is that bullstuff. its actually a pretty decent card for a budget one.

ive got an nvidia  9800gx2 that can max skyrim still. granted the rest of the comp is very up to date.

this is similar to the one i got laying around

cept its an asus manufactured one

A good 120$+ card will serve you well, but that is only my opinion.

i have a gtx650 dont laugh

Almost maxxing Skyrim and BF3? At what resolution and framerate?

Edit: OH NO I DID IT AGAIN DONT KILL ME

on both games basically i had to disable shadows completely, AA off, and medium lighting.

but all other specs can be maxed and at 1080 res

id sell it for 25 bucks + shipping :D

cuz im not concerned about the money. but i wouldnt mind grabbing myself a steam game or something.

That's a preeety big sacrifice of quality. Even stuffty shadows are good enough for me.

well its a huge upgrade from what hes got. and without having to spend the 150 bucks he likely should be.
he wouldnt even need to upgrade his psu either

sads shadows are like the coolest things ever

bf could prob handle it. but skyrim has way to many shadows XD

the grass man, the grass

I refuse to believe
my old 5670 could barely play bf3 on lowest settings, cranking out 30 fps on it
medium ish on skyrim
my moms video editing machine which has an i7 + 7770 ran bf3 on medium ish settings at 60 fps
but a 5750 running high-ultra? Lol, no thats impossible

edit; I believe now since you turned off aa and shadows

anways menen give me a budget and ill come up with a good video card

You're pretty set then, unless your power supply can't handle it. Titanium knows what he or she is talking about.

best card for a bit under 200
just make sure your psu gives out at least 500 - 600w
