Hi this is my rig cpu i3 4130 8gb ddr3 ram evga 600b 600w psu and 500gb seagate sata hard drive can my pc handle this gpu
At most I'd say you should get like a 950 or something, a 970gtx will be bottlenecked by your processor.
do you know where i can get a cheap 950 as my buget is not great looking around £20 or £30 that's all i have atm
Seeing as you're using pounds, I really don't know. I'm Dutch, you see ;) Try to find a good second hand marketplace or something like that.
you're never gonna get a 9xx for 20 Quid. They're currently going for 100+..
it's ok i have a asus direct cu II OC Gtx 760 i will upgrade when i can
Just got one in my new rig, works amazing and is very quiet!
great card
GD Rating from 10 to 8
Does this need a power connector and if it does what kind?
Read above under specifications! ;) It says 2x 6 pin. So, you'll need two of these.
Is Intel core i5-4460 3.2 Ghz good enough for this gpu??
yes it is.
yes buy this
my first high end gpu
Power Connector not 2x 6-pin but 1x 8-pin.
yes.
1% better!
would this make a good upgrade or should I look at something else?
It would be a great upgrade i'm getting mine delivered next week the performance looks great however i wouldn't go above 1080p gaming due to the V-RAM actually being 3.5GB
it would be a great upgrade
