Hi everyone
This is my first participation in this forum and i would like to tackle a controversial and serious affair : When it is necessary to change a graphic card especially if it is powerful (like a GTX 570 in its time) ?!
I evoke this subject after the little experiment I did when comparing my new CG MSI 780 GTX GAMING with my "old" MSI GTX 570 card! Of course there is nothing to say about the gross performance of the 780 which is at least the double comparing to the GTX 570.
My disappointment comes from the fact that in practice it does not change much things: all the latest games including the most resource demanding are running without problem. Few games that can cause fluidity problems in very high setting, reducing anti-aliasing will resolve this kind of issues (crysis 3).
By the way did you notice the numbers of parameters actually associated to anti-aliasing : SSAA, FXAA, TXAA, MSAA, SMAA !! I can say without a doubt that companies of this sector, like any others, use a lot of marketing arguments to encourage people to buy more or changing products : they creates needs that we don't need.
At the risk of repeating myself, I invite you to see this video that shows that we can mostly play comfortably with a gtx 570 like the most recent, powerful but expensive 780 GTX GC :
MSI GTX 780 TF4 Vs MSI 570 TF3 Gaming experience -...
So, according to your experience, what is the appropriate time or conditions / circumstances to start thinking about changing the CG !
Sorry for my English,if there's mistakes
