What resolution are you running? If 1440p, then more vram is needed. If just 1080p, then you don't really need it (outside of like 2 games)
1080p but I know 3.5GB of VRAM isn't going to hold me over for the next couple of years. I wish I copped that 680 4GB back in the day :snoop:

Probably an nvidia 970. A lot of people on the board have that card and love it

both the 960 and 970 are piff...

I would be upgrading but I don't play over 1080p and my 780 kills everything I play at that resolution...

word? :lupe: hadn't even considered that one, respect.

I have an Evga GTX970 FTW+ and I love it.
I'm also using my old GTX760 as a dedicated physx card...mad overkill.

@Ruck86 An electrician had to come to my place to fix a few things and he recommended a UPS system for my computer. I saw you talking about them in another thread. Which one do you recommend?

I know nothing about this. Is this a good one?

@NotoriousJerry what's the best gaming laptop for your money? I'm thinking about buying one. Under 2K preferably. I know you're in the know about these things. Thanks in advance.

good God man, snap out of it.
if you get a gaming laptop then i'll never enter the Arcadium again.
