Upgrading my graphic card

[Grant freije]

Hi I just recently got a gaming pc and the graphic card is a little bad and I wanna upgrade to my games run faster I did a test and this is what I got. I play a lot of big games like cod and Fortnite stuff like that and I just wanna upgrade that already upgrading my ram to a 32 or 16 idk first time having a pc.

Welcome to Tpu, which monitor do you have?
570 is okay for 1080p gaming, i would definately upgrade the ram to 16gb

Right now I’m using a Samsung and my other one is oh I stream my games and it lags sometimes I can’t play cod because it’s so bad and when I did the test it showed graphic card and yes to 16 so how does that change anything I’m like brand new I plaid Xbox so I have no clue about nothing and wanna learn

Talk to a local shop. You need another 8GB RAM stick. That RX 570 is fine for 1080p gaming. Also be sure that you run it on low settings until, like said above you uppgrade your RAM.

You're going to have to adjust settings in CoD to improve performance with that RX570 but you'll still have a fairly good improvement over the Xbox.
A lot of settings are unnecessary... Some do better maxed out..TXAA X2 for instance, tesselation set to near...SSR Low, Ambient Occlusion- Both and film grain set to zero and no world blur.

16gb of memory does help... Gets rid of a little bit of stutter

If the 8GB is a single stick it's going to be hurting general smoothness a lot. What speed is it? If it's a single stick that's slow (i.e. less than 2666) I'd probably just ditch it and get a 16GB kit.

Upgrading a 570 will be very expensive right now, so avoid it if you can.

As everyone else said another stick of ram first. But, if you can find any 1660/TI/S at a reasonable price that would be a good upgrade that wouldn't be bottlenecked.

Download CPU-Z and GPU-Z (both available for download on TPU).

 

[Grant freije]

Doing that now you want me to just send screen shot of what I get

 

[Tetras]

Yes, post them here. GPU-Z only has one info tab, but CPU-Z has several (cpu, mainboard and memory are the important ones, but spd will tell you how many sticks of memory you have).

 

[Grant freije]

This is what I got

 

[Deleted member 67555]

Certainly not a crap pc... Just get another 3000mhz memory stick and figure out your game settings and you should be good

 

[Grant freije]

Is the a ram

 

[mstenholm]

RAM = random access memory, yes RAM is memory. If possible get the same as the one stick you have.

 

[phanbuey]

That's a great pc. Yeah get dual channel ram (if you add 1 more stick it will use both in a way that is faster) and OC the graphics card.

Hi Grant,

As everyone has said, you have a great system that can be upgraded eventually with a better graphics card when prices come down.

People are suggesting you add another 8GB of memory to your system now, giving you a total of 16GB. This will help with performance when gaming and get the most out of what you have now. It's best to match the RAM that's currently in your computer when adding more.

You can look for a label on the memory that's in your computer and post what you find so we can suggest what to buy. You can also post a photo of the inside of your case to show us what's there.

Once we figure out what you have, additional RAM can be added to an open slot on your motherboard (show below where I've marked in red).

Would it be bad if I took my old one out and put this one in I might just put one 16 but I stream and play games so it lags a little

It would be fine to remove the existing memory stick, and replace with a kit like the one above.

I tried to find a single matching XPG 8GB DIMM, but couldn't find one for sale.

While that set from BestBuy isn't on the 'tested' list for your motherboard, it shouldn't have a problem working just fine with your system.

How old is your PC. The price seems kinda high even for a rx570.

I actually got reduced to 850

Was it from bestbuy?
If you bought it not to long ago, they'll refund you the difference.

And you'll want to have dual channel ram. It means having 2 sticks of ram modules.

 

[Grant freije]

Will one of these work I will only put one stick in and take my old one out but would this work

Yes I got it last Monday and they already did

 

[Tetras]

It will work, but don't, you must use 2 sticks for modern games to play smoothly.
