help!! my aging mid-range GPU has served me well, but modded city builders is turning into a slideshow on medium settings. I have up to 700 dollars set aside. Every time I am about to click buy, someone says new cards are coming and prices will drop. That has happened to me three times now. At what point do you just buy teh thing and enjoy it? And if I buy now, what is teh sweet spot for my budget? pls help 馃檹
upgrade my aging mid-range gpu now or hold out for the next generation??
Accepted solution
Jump to the replyoh ive been there lol also check your monitor. A big GPU upgrade on a 1080p 60Hz screen is often wasted. Sometimes the better upgrade for a 2000s racing game is a higher refresh monitor paired with a modest card. good luck man!
@dima.quintero Checked my bottleneck first like you said, upgraded the GPU, and the difference is huge. Should have done this a year ago.
is a smart warning on a open-box 2tb nvme grounds for a refund?
