Hello!

I have a GTS 450 (quite ancient) GPU and I have currently enough money to buy a GTX 750 Ti but I am thinking to save up and buy the GTX 970. Should I buy the GTX 750 Ti or save up for the 970?

Specs:

AMD FX-8320 Vishera

Asus GTS 450

6GB of RAM (upgrading it to 8GB)

550W PSU

 

What do you think?

Thanks!

970 for sure. I have it and it is a absolute beast of a card for the money.

Yeah, a gtx 970 would work fantastic. I have a asus strix 970 and it gets 60 fps 95% of the time. If you can't wait, I heard the 770 works pretty decently as well. it's about a $100 cheaper, depending on condition. Honestly though between price and performance, go for the 970, you wont regret it ;)

For reference, I have a 750 Ti, and I run 45-60fps on GTA V with the default video settings, depending on the area. In the city with all of the buildings, cars, peds, and objects, its around 45-50. In less populated areas like paleto and senora, its closer to 60.

 

EDIT: If you're curious about GTA IV, I play with CryENB v3 (medium quality, still looks great) at around 40fps, dropping to 30 depending on where I am. (Shadows and reflection on low quality, everything else at default) 

If you can, I'd recommend saving for the 970, because as stated before, its a beast for the price. If you can't, the 750 Ti is still a good card.

970, the 980 is a great card but on average your only getting at most a 20fps difference. Their are only a few games out right now that actually show a better performance with the 980 for example metro last light, but not by much. The 970 will get you the 1080p 60 fps that your looking for, not to mention anything over 60 fps isn't noticeable and is kinda overkill. In closing, your paying on average of $200 more for a card that only gets at the most a 20 fps difference. :p

Thanks man, Just got it.

Thanks for all of your replies and I ordered the GTX 770 for now and then later if needed I will upgrade it to the 970 or the 980.

Anyways Thanks!
