Depends on what is bottlenecking your current setup. -- - My portfolio |

Yeah post specs, cos if you get a new gpu, you may have an issue with it working on an old mother board, so you may need to wait and upgrade more. As an example, i wanted a new gpu, but the mother board was old and didnt support the new standard, so a new motherboard was needed, this also meant a new psu, cpu and ram. Edited by: TKAzA --

The best graphic card is more than useless if you have an extremely weak processor vice versa. Edited by: Phoenix1747 |

I wish my new Windows 8.1 Dell Inspiron would play some of my older games. |

I can play all of my older games from 2002 and older and I also have Windows 8.1. Why can't you? |

I play older games on my Win 8.1 setup too. Unless the drivers don't support what they need any more, they should work fine. |

Depends how bad one of them is. If the worst thing on your PC is the GPU then damn it Jim get a GPU pronto. |

If it was only that simple, If his motherboard doesn't accept the newer cards, a new gpu might mean new cpu, new mother board, new ram, psu... etc. If his current board is AGP based, well hes all out of luck getting a gpu from a shop. Edited by: TKAzA --
