which GTX should i get?
im i need a nvidia GPU because ATI just isent compatible with my internal ATI for my eGPU build, and is giving me problems. so i need to buy a nvidia GPU but i still dont know which one..... the requirements is that it has to be either a 400 series or 500 series. and the GPU is going to be running at PCI 2.0 x1 (maybe x2 speeds if i get another cable or do some other mods) any suggestions? my system specs are:
intel core i5 560m @ 3.2ghz
6gb of RAM (will upgrade to 8 soon)
and i will be running at 1600x900 resolution.
i dont want to spend more then $100 on ebay.
the games im playing are
cod MW2, Black ops, world at war
test drive unlimited 2
BFBC 2
Battlefield 3
farcry 3
dirt 3
those are my most demanding games.
i know my limitation is the bandwidth speed at pci 2.0 x1 (x2), so with that in mind, i know i wont be able to play all games at max settings 1600x900 but still. ive seen someone play crisis 2 on 1080p with all ultra settings at pci 1.0 x1 speeds and get a playable 20-40FPS. he was using a GTX 560ti
same with BF 3 except 1280x720
