sevo Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) It's my birthday tomorrow and I'm planning on upgrading my system. I do need a new PSU amongst a few other new things, but primarily I need a better GPU in order to play the games I would like to be able to play. I currently have a GTX 750 Ti, and I need something much better in order to keep up with current games. I want to be able to play GTA V much better than I currently do, and I want to be able to play games like PUBG on the higher graphical settings. I've had my eye on THIS Gigabyte GTX 1060 Windforce x2 OC 3GB This is my current setup: CPU: AMD FX 8320 GPU: nVIDIA GTX 750 Ti RAM: 8GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE PSU: 650W shitty PSU that I plan to upgrade eventually Cheers!

Arthur Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I recently upgraded my GTX 750 Ti to a GTX 1060 Xtreme Gaming 6GB. I could barely run PUBG with my previous GPU, objects were loading for literally 15 minutes. Any game I play now runs smoothly. I do have issues with FPS on GT:MP servers, It's obviously client sided, though. I just play on window mode, it boosts my FPS significantly. Link to comment
Wisci Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 My GTX 1080 doesn't always like GT-MP, I wouldn't bargain on this server for your best bet of how big you want to go. Link to comment
stringer Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Get a 6gb one, 3gb one is not really worth it. It's not only the 3gb of vram difference, there are some other stuff that is different between them and it makes quite a big difference Link to comment
iCohen Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 You might also need to upgrade the CPU too. If you ask me, upgrade your gpu to 1060 and your CPU to 6700. My friend has the same specs as yours and he manage to run PUBG quite good. If you got spare dollars, upgrade your ram with another 8gb stick. It won't hurt and only add more fps to your games. Not necessary, though. Link to comment

This CPU seems to be running like a trooper, but if I notice any blindingly obvious bottlenecking then I shall upgrade. Most games seem to be satisfied with this CPU though so I think I'll stick with it. As for RAM, there are not many instances, if any, where I have found myself needing any more than 8GB. We shall see. 36 minutes ago, Rozi said: Get a 6gb one, 3gb one is not really worth it.

It's an extra £100 for the 6gb one, which I could afford if I were to work for another two weeks and keep saving up, but I'm not so sure. 40 minutes ago, Wisci said: My GTX 1080 doesn't always like GT-MP, I wouldn't bargain on this server for your best bet of how big you want to go.

With all honesty, I would highly suggest to get the 6GB version. Link to comment
Now You See Me Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I'd also say go for the 6gb version, I have one and I have had no issues with it. Also, another 8gb of ram is good for like PUBG if you are running other things as I know that my friends struggled with PUBG and 8gb of ram. Link to comment
Cheezy Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I bought the 3GB and returned it 3 days later for the 6GB version. Get the 6GB. Link to comment
