j2t Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Ok, so my son has largely taken over the family PC and he is looking to upgrade the video card with his money. Currently it has a HD6870 running. His budget is around $120 (though i might pitch in a little to help him). Let me know if you have anything that might be a decent upgrade.

paulktreg Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Is an upgrade going to make a significant difference? What is the CPU, motherboard, RAM and power supply? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccokeman Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 How new are you looking for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2t Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 I think he is just looking for something newer or more powerful than the 5870. He was looking at new cards but I told him he might get more for his money with a used card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
