Thats what it says on pc part picker and i dont have a clue how to update it lmfao Link to comment
Cassettes Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 If you're doing it mostly for Arma getting a new GPU won't help at all, I upgraded from the 750ti 1GB to the 960 GB and my FPs didn't increase; not even one bit xd Link to comment
Agent X Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) I have a feeling that your I7 3770k is going to be the bottle neck that is going to hold your gpu back. Once i got rid of my 3770k, I gained 20-30 fps on Asylum. In the same light. A GTX 970 is going to be your best bet to stay around the price that you are looking for. Even a GTX 960 if you need to slim down your budget a little further. 100-200 euros is equivalent to of $110-$220. If that is all you can afford then the 960 would be your best bet. If you can get a little extra you should go with the 970. Good Luck with your search. Edited June 28, 2016 by Agent X Link to comment

I have some shopping to do. https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/416125/msi-geforce-gtx-970-gaming-4g.html 284 being the cheapest MSI. The cheapest manufacturer being Inno3D for 260 euro's.

When I check the control panel while arma is open, the disk is always at 100%, while CPU and memory dont go over 20-30% Link to comment

Easy way to see is if your CPU is at 100% and your gpu is under a 100% usage. That being said with your budget get a cheep 970 that is on sale. Or a 960 and SSD 960 and SSD combo https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-NVIDIA-960-Gaming-Graphics/dp/B00SKTY6PS?ie=UTF8&tag=pcp0f-21 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-BX200-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B016JREGAC?ie=UTF8&tag=pcp0f-21 Also why do you have a Unlocked CPU with a none overclock able CPU?

Frrossst Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 You could get the RX 480 supposed to be just under a 1070 by like 6-7 % for $230ish for 8gb Link to comment
