okie if u see my graphic card on my spec (radon hd 7570) its honestly not that bad, ill get back to that, so you see i want to upgrade my graphic card form 1GB to 2gb and this seems like a realy good deal going back to what i said ealiery i said its not that bad because although been old it runs new games but i'm getting 10 fps :p you see i'm not a big guy about fps i would jizz my pants if i got 20 fps, so what i want to ask is should i upgrade whit the gt 710? (oh anything above 80$ and i would need to sell my liver)

don't bother with the 710.

both the 750ti and 7770 can be had for under $80 shipped.

or suck it up for 1 month and wait for the black Friday sales on the 1050 or inventory clearance on older amd cards.

edit: at the very least you can get an r7 240 for ~60 at best buy. which is the same speed as your card but with 2gb.

Sadly, the GT 710 would be slower than your HD 7570. Should be able to get around the memory limitations by turning texture detail down.

The 1050 with 4GB should be like $130 if that ...

There is no 950 Ti, just 950. Best deal I've seen currently is a ASUS Strix 950 for $108. That's MIR though, so you'd be paying $138 up front (free shipping). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121980&cm_re=GTX_950-_-14-121-980-_-Product

That said, rumor has it the 1050 will run about $109, and launch later this month. The 1050 Ti is the one that's rumored about $139, but it's also 4GB vs 2GB, and has more CUDA Cores.

It takes a card that's at least 50% more powerful for an upgrade to really be worthwhile, and anything that is at least 50% more powerful than your current card is going to run above $80, unless you go refurbished, used, or a vendor of questionable reputation.

You can get a GT 740 2GB for around $95 on Newegg, which is right at about 50% more powerful, but you're far better off spending a bit more and getting the 950 I mentioned. No need to sell your liver, just wait a bit. There will no doubt be better sales coming on the holidays. Sign up for Newegg's email subscriber promos.

You should note however that a 740, 750 Ti, or 950 require a 400w, 19-20 amp PSU, so you need to check what level PSU you have. That said, the 1050 is only 75w, and requires just a 300w PSU. The base $109 model doesn't even require connecting to a PSU either.
