Jendrak 206 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 So I am looking to upgrade my video card and monitor, but I don't want to spend $100000000 to do it. Currently I am running an old school 22 inch monitor (nothing special) and a GT640. I prefer Nvidia as I have never had much like with ATI in the past. Suggestions? I know ARMA is CPU heavy, and I am good there...recently upgrade that. But I need a better video card for other games that AREN'T badly coded like Arma lol. 1 Quote Link to comment
Head Admin Grandma Gary 10038 Posted January 26, 2015 Head Admin Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Quad Titans and a 65 inch cinema screen should do nicely. Make that OCTOTITANS!!! Quote Link to comment
Jendrak 206 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Honestly I can live with the monitor..I think the video card needs to go though. Quote Link to comment
Head Admin Grandma Gary 10038 Posted January 26, 2015 Head Admin Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 If you wanna stick with an Nvidia card and don't want to have to sell you soul/wife then go for a 960/970/980 . As of right now the difference between the 980 and 970 isn't worth the price difference and the 970 isn't a bank breaker. Quote Link to comment
BENJI 1021 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I would suggest from around a 750 TI or a Geforce GTX 770 and maybe an Asus monitor if you want good Response Time and good Graphics. Quote Link to comment

If you can live with the monitor you've got, then how much would you be willing to shell out on a video card? If it is within your budget, then I'd suggest an EVGA GTX 780Ti. Quote Link to comment
Jendrak 206 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Finally got my BenQ 27" and the GTX 960 in. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment
Warfare 498 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Finally got my BenQ 27" and the GTX 960 in. What do you guys think? Hows the performance upgrade with the new card? Have you tested streaming yet? Otherwise the setup looks sick. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jendrak 206 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Well before I was running about 25 FPS in arma (and that is out in the middle of no where running standard). I get about 200fps in the same spot now and that is on Ultra. Streaming looks a TON better now. Quote Link to comment

D3V1L 163 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 The 960 is bad performance for its price. 970 is more for people on a budget. 980 is just slightly better than the 970. I'd go for the 970 if you arent gonna be doing anything special. As for a monitor.. BENQ ALL THE WAY Quote Link to comment
Jendrak 206 Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I got the one Ares suggested. The G1 Gaming. Pretty good reviews and right at my budget limit. I upgraded from a 640 so it seems pretty good to me lol. 1 Quote Link to comment
