Upgrade CPU or GPU?

[Toothless]

You're just dumping more heat into your case for no reason, probably pulling more power for no reason, and drivers that aren't exactly made for the card to run games for no reason.

Save yourself the trouble and extra faults and get a proper card. You'll have less questions to ask.

Hey look guys, card is starting to crap out already(went up to 102 in crew 2 and ran just fine for a while, then slowed down to 5fps)
Going to use my Radeon R7 260XOC in the mean time , but i decided to just buy a non workstation GPU, until i build my secondary rig and then i will buy a more up to date workstation GPU for my secondary rig, most likely a W5500 or WX 71008GB.

In the mean time, i'm buying this tomorrow for this rig i have. I shouldn't have any issues with heat with this card and it only takes a 6 pin and its only 139, going to save me about 250 dollars lol. This shoudl give me a nice performance boost.

How about no workstation gpu at all? I get that they're cool, it's not common to use them in games, and cool numbers but you'll get better support and easier problem solving with, y'know, normal stuff.

A 570 is a good pick, and should be able to overclock well.

Yea i just bought it, was going to pay extra to get it quicker, but hopefully it shows up around friday next week. Looking forward to using it.

Hey guys, my new card finally shown up, this thing is powerful. I probably have no trouble playing no more games. Just tested watch dogs at 1080p max settings but msaa2 and i get a solid 50fps.

Question though is the fan noise suppose to be kinda loud? it quiets down when idle, but kinda noisy when running games. I said kinda loud, because it ain't too bad, just curious.
