noveltyhero Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Seems to me that the only thing need replacing is your graphics processor. Recommendations for mid-price (good cards): Radeon HD 7950 GTX 660Ti GTX 760 Best to run BF4 and such on high (IMO): AMD R9 290X <-due to the API it is pretty good however more games need to use it GTX 780Ti <- kind of overkill to get but it is the best graphics card available now GTX 690 <- very good card, recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainabi Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I would recommend the gtx n70 series n stands for number so 570>670>770>870 etc these have great performance yet are pretty cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMD has some good stuff going for them recently. However, PhysX is just so beautiful. I'm caught between a 770 and an R9 280 for an upgrade.

Kloaked Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 if you're not sure yet wait for Q1 2014 for the gtx 870 I had that on my mind too. Maxwell is going to be beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCypherThis13 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Laugh at me all you want, but this is my build. This thing is the diesel truck of PCs. It takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. MB: ASRock 880G Pro3 CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 840 3.2 Ghz RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8 Gb(4x2 chips) GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 440 (1Gb GDDR5) It will run Crysis 2 Maximum Edition and Battlefield 4 maxed out, but I don't have Metro Last Light, so I don't know how this one runs. Basically, you have way more power than I do and I can run these games smoothly. What more do you want? Edit: Oops, the CPU is a Phenom II.

DCypherThis13 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 It may be a very simple problem to fix. Check to see if you have a background program that's hogging your resources. The OS may also be causing issues. I run Win7 Ult 64 bit. Some thing else to try... My MB has on board graphics by ATI/AMD. If I were to buy an identical card to the one on the board, Radeon 4250, I can run them in Hybrid CrossFire, for really cheap. Even though, most folks recommend against it. I'm not sure how it works with Nvidia graphics cards, but you may want to look into it. You may be able to run another GeForce 630 in tandem with the one on the board in SLI, sort of.
