Upgrading Rig For GTA V

[greniph]

Hello guys,

Currently, my rig is just a slightly above average rig that consists of:

Intel Core i5 2500K @ 3.30GHz
4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 802MHz
ASUSTeK Computer INC. P8P67 (LGA1155)
1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series (Sapphire/PCPartner)

It is a pretty outdated set but it is still holding up very well.
I'd definitely need a ram upgrade but i know what to get already.

As for the graphic card, i met the min. requirement but still feel like doing an upgrade.
So i was thinking if i should crossfire with another HD6850 or go for a single card upgrade?

Was looking at Palit GeForce GTX 750 Ti StormX Dual for its price and review.

Please advise!
Thank you!

Budget ? Powersupply u using ?

Pointless to go for a crossfire of 6850...

No point crossfire, and no point getting the 750ti. Cause it wont justify any bumps in performance from your 6850 vs 750ti.

Check your chassis maximum clearance and also the amount of PSU wattage that you have.

Your next available upgrade should go for the Sapphire r9 280x 3gb Dual X from Lazada.sg. Get some coupon promo or use credit/debit card to get further discounts from $285.

Thanks all.

PSU is Aerocool E80 600W.

Clearance is pretty decent.
Your terms of clearance is referring to card slots etc?

The length of card that ur case allow..

If ur budget is sub $200 do consider 2nd hand card like 280x or gtx760 etc

 

[royfrosty]

At this time no point going for 280x.

Price performance ratio as of now is either you go 280 or you go gtx 970.

2nd hand

Go for 2nd hand GTX 660 @ very cheap rates....
