I have been away from gaming for awhile . I have the following i5 2500 CPU 3.30Ghz GTX570 GPU 16 GB Ram Windows 7.....I know but I am not going to be upgrading it any time soon. If I just get a new GPU will I be able to play the newer games at 1920 x 1080. I would like to upgrade the monitor also to play at 1440. What do you guys recommend Thanks for any info
Res doesn't really matter when it comes to cpu, that 2500 wouild struggle at 720p with some new games. I'm running my 2080ti off a 10100f, 4 cores with HT, bought new for £85 (amazon). This cpu struggles with some games and you could say it's twice as powerful as the ol' 2500. There's many decent cheap cpu/ mobo options these days, a new gpu would start squealing the minute it senses that 2500.
Terrible time to upgrade your GPU. Prices are super inflated, even for low end GPUs. What budget do you have for the GPU and monitor?
I quick look on newegg and I thought the prices were pretty crazy...LOL Maybe I will just wait until the prices get some what back to normal before doing an upgrade . Maybe just play some older games for now....I was wanting to play Red Dead Redemption Any game recommendations that will run on my specs would be appreciated
look at obtaining a "gaming laptop" as such, some of the older models up to a 2060 are substantially cheaper than actually buying a gpu alone. alternatively look into geforce now, and stream using cloud hardware.
must have been the gddr5 version. i briefly had a 1030 ddr4 one and it couldnt even barely run star trek online.
I bought used i7 8750h/32gb/1060 6gb laptop for a 500$. The 1060 6gb desktop costs 350$ alone not to mention the rest of the pc.
i could be wrong but he said GTX 570 and his profile says it was once an sli config. if we go directly by what he posted he should really start new.
OP uses old GTX 570, not RX 570, that's some really old GPU, just a 1.25GB VRAM, too weak for modern games. I agree about CPU upgrade, it's an old 4c/4t CPU, but GPU has to go too. If OP can find east 2600K (4c/8t) for cheap and OC the damn thing up to 4.xGHz it'll help for sure. Cheap 3770 or OCed 3770K would be nice. Disabling Spectre and Meltdown mitigations with inSpectre #8 will make a difference in many games for sure,
Isnt it like the best just getting a new system? Something like ryzen 2600/b450/16gb would be decent and not break the bank. Problem is the gpu...
we seem to be of the same taste, I bought a i7 8750h 32gb 1070 laptop for 300 recently, saw the gpu alone in a shop pre owned for 420 lol which one did you get? I got it for work, but it’s great to fire up a game on a break quickly.
Wow thats insane! I though i got a nice deal. Its an medion erazer x6805 from 2018. Got mine for diablo 2 remaster lan party with some friends.
GPUs are starting to become dare i say more reasonable, just managed to snag a 6900xt red dragon oc from a bricks and mortar for £1400 for my Wifes new build lots of others seem to be showing some stock as well of both NV and AMD products
mines an asus scar strix from around 2018 too. was red hot when i got it, full of dust, replaced the gunk on the gpu and cpu with thermal grizzly paste and pads and now its fine. lovely laptop. Cost of these gaming laptops, i dont think ill get a full desktop again, could get two laptops for same price.
