Re: Upgrading GPU, would like recommendations
Just ordered the gigabyte card off of Ebay. GeForce GTX 770 with 4 GB VRAM for $300 USD seems like a incredible steal... we'll find out if this is too good to be true.

Gigabyte does very good overclocks on their cards, btw. Should be a great card

Gigabyte... meh... I bet terrible working conditions for the company workers...

Get a GTX 750 TI.
Edit: If you want a cheap brand, look at Powercolor or Club3D.
- You won't need to upgrade your PSU if your power consumption is just under the max.
- It only costs about $150.
- It is 60% more powerful than a GTX 650.
What are you smoking? Gigabyte is one of my four trusted brands. The others being ASUS, MSI, and EVGA.Daniel wrote:Gigabyte... meh... I bet terrible working conditions for the company workers...(Since cheapest GeForce brand) and probably cheap plastic materials...

I just wonder (looking for the reason/explanation) how gigabyte can be so much cheaper than all the others... ? You never wondered?

Re: Upgrading GPU, would like recommendations
Wait for the game to be released. If it runs smoothly at a grafic setting you like I wouldnt upgrade. If you do upgrade get something that runs the game you upgrade for on all high or save a little bit longer. Also make sure your cpu does not put the brakes on your card.
