Letter13 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 If your budget is around $300~350... Get a GTX 970. It will future-proof your rig for many years to come. I myself am eyeing this sucker for a small form factor build myself: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OQUMGM0/ It's so tiny and POWERFUL. And only $340.

Lynxh Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) If your budget is around $300~350... Get a GTX 970. It will future-proof your rig for many years to come. I myself am eyeing this sucker for a small form factor build myself: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OQUMGM0/ It's so tiny and POWERFUL. And only $340. Only $340 he says >_>. But it will last pretty long, fair enough. I recently got myself a GTX 760 for about 180 euro, which was a steal. Mainly power issues holding me back, and unfortunately it's slotted in a PCI express 2 slot, so it's a little throttled on the bandwidth. Unforeseen events have kept me from finishing my upgrade cycle for the coming time. So I'm stuck as is for now. My advice: Save up for a bigger budget, unless you only want to replace the card in the one with trouble running WF. The card I got literately performs twice as well as my previous. And has a very decent performance VS cost ratio. To that end, look up the card you want to replace on these sites (right now it has my card selected for illustrative purposes) http://www.futuremark.com/hardware/gpu/NVIDIA+GeForce+GTX+760/review http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+760 Both offer comparisons to other cards and different ratio's of cost/performance/etc If you current card runs WF well, just use that as a base to select a better one.

Azure_Kytia Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Can vouch for the 750 Ti. Recently got one myself, a pretty good graphics card for it's buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythblaze Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Forken out 500+ is worth it for a 980. I upgrade every other cycle, currently using a 780. Saving up is worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sathari3l Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Ok, I recently had this requirment list myself. I got the nvidia 660. Look on newegg. After around 2 or 3 months of searching, I came across a deal for a 660. 95$. normally they are AROUND 120-170, depending on were you buy from. My computer can handle the card, and all I have is a 350 Watt power supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
GunDownGrace
well its about that time of year again when me finances are abit more flexible...
i have 2 computers
one has an amd radeon hd 6670 which runs warframe with some lag (it gets very laggy on the infested corpus ship tileset)
the other has an amd radeon hd 6850 which in most cases runs warframe pretty smooth without much problem
but seeing as im guessing upgrades are due...
i need some help selecting a decent nvidia card
this is my basic requirements list:
powerful enough to run warframe at max with no problem is a plus,not a must
fits within my 500 watt power core range (though if i must i can upgrade it)
within the 100 to 150 usd range (mildly flexible but not by much)
exceeds the radeon hd 6850 in power
capable of running nvidia physx for warframe
________________________________________________________________
im pretty bad with video card terminologys and names,which is why i need help locating a suitable card along these lines (i tryed several video card comparison lists but couldnt make heads or tails of them)
