Gigabyte Gtx 285

my mother board is :

biostar (tp67B)

i5-2400 @ 3.10ghz

4gb ram


i need a new graphics card to play this game called " watch dogs "

which requires a graphics card that is hardware compatible to directx 11

I completed this game called " watch dogs " with an old GTX 550TI on low with very good frame rates. So most cards u gonna get now can run it, just see how good u want.

Watch dogs just needs that Vram for ultra settings... it just recently launched so optimization is not the best yet... I love ubisoft (having played all the ac games.. and loving blacklist) but no way am I going to pay top dollar just to beta test games...

I'll wait for game of the year edition
