New GPU?

I got a 650 ti boost and I can play Far Cry 4 fine. I just want another GPU to play DayZ mod at higher fps. You can go for a GTX 750 ti like I wanted too. But someone told me it wasn't a worthy investment and that I should save a little more for a GPU at around 200$

ok here is where you are at. Dayz is a very poorly optimized game and lags like shit no matter what gpu, but a higher end gpu would help a little, but to do this you need to know if your hardware will bottleneck the new card, so what is your current cpu? If it is an amd 4 core I suggest a hd 7970 or a gtx 660 if it is an Intel 4 core to a amd 6-8 core I would suggest an r9-280x or a gtx 760-970.

Yea man your good, IDE say go for a 760 or for even better performance a r9 290 it's not much more if you can find a nice deal, amazon has many.

So for an amd II phenom x6 1090t what would a good upgrade be? GTX 760 like the op?
That's what I'm getting according to your last post about I5 to Amd 6-8 cores.

That is still a pretty capable cpu so yea you can go for a 760 or maybe even a r9-280x

But how big of an improvement would it be from a 650ti boost ---> 760?
Because if the improvement is little to none then there is no reason to waste a hundred bucks for nothing

yea you would see anywhere from a 30-45% boost in performance basically if we take BF4 for an example its like going from 20 fps to a comfortable 50 stable at ultra.

Alright thanks a lot. I know what I'm getting with my Christmas money lol
