Hello all... I have an older PC that I only use to do some online racing (IRacing) on. It is starting to get a little long in the tooth in the graphics area. I like running with all the eye candy turned on and it's starting to have some problems keeping up. Some tracks the frame rates are in the high 20's
It's an older I5 4690 stock on a Gigabyte H97-D3H mother board with 16gb of DDR3 ram.
The graphics card in question is a Gigabyte AMD HD 6950 with 1 gb of video memory.
With a budget of around $150-175 what can I purchase that my older motherboard will still handle?
I'm retired so I don't want to spend a whole lot of money upgrading this system.
I'm just looking to upgrade the video card and I'm curious what you guys suggest as to the "Best Bang for the Buck"
Thanks in advance.
