HELP!
 

HI,I Upgraded My computer 3 month ago,but Now my Video Card is Bottlenecking my Intel i5....

I have a 9800 GTX+ SSC,That i'm satisfied but i Want a Direct X 11 capable Card who can do better than mine....Problem...i got 200 Bucks......And just to mention,I'm not a Fan of ATI\AMD:bleh:...Hate ATI Catalyst!

Also is it really worth the Dollards???

3 choice.....
GTX 460
GTX 550
GTX 560


Thanks to Helping Me!:biggrin:

try to score a used one, or a 6950,used of course

just to mention......I want a card who will handle Skyrim at least at Very High If Not at Ultra at 1680x1050

Isn't that what we try NOT to title stuff?

I'm not too sure what that is about - I can extract...

• Your budget is $200
• You want a non-AMD GPU that can outperform a 9800GTX+ and support DirectX11
• Your CPU is a Core i5 (I assume the 2500k in your my system specs?)
• You for some reason don't want the GPU to bottleneck the CPU

For $200 you're looking at a GTX 460 1 GB ($160ish), GTX 470 ($190ish), or a GTX 560 non-Ti ($190ish) new, or maybe a GTX 560Ti used if you're patient. I don't know if your budget includes shipping and taxes. A GTX 550 Ti is a tier lower than the aforementioned cards at $110-$135. Any of those cards of which will nicely outperform a 9800GTX+. Whether the performance is worth the money depends on what you need out of the card.

EDIT: ninja'd by OP
See if reviews for any of the cards I listed show what you want to play and decide from there. I'm not familiar with ES5's requirements.

Got my Answer :P THANKS!

anyone as opinion of Zotac?????? An underbrand of what other brand???

I am disappointed that no one has asked the OP what his power supply is, if its a 400W he'd be rather limited.

System specs. says TX650W. He's fine.
