So heres the story, I'm donating one of my old gaming rigs to a kid in need and I'm trying to decide if it's worth putting anymore money into.
Specs
i5-760 -OC 3.2ghz
MSI P55 GD-80
16gb generic CL9 1333hz(timing is all 9s)
Corsair Force 256GB SSD
Solid 700w PSU(its good mid-level, I trust it but dont have the part# on hand)
Nvidia GTX960 2GB
I know, barf, I pulled it out of an HTPC project.
At 1080p with V-sync and low settings I can pull 30-40s in BFV, so heres my question. Is my GTX the bottle neck? Could I get him something close to 50-60 with medium settings on a better card? Or is this system already too limited to bother upgrading the card?
Dans got a 980 classified around 160 I was thinking about begging him for if its worth sinking the money into. This kid will never play something more intensive than BFV. Atleast for a few years. Im just using BFV as a benchmark. I think 160 is my limit since this is a donation.
