I'm one day hoping to fully upgrade my system when I have the funds but for now I'm just looking at the graphics part. Here is my problem tho my motherboard is an ASUS M2R32-MVP Which supports upto PCIe 2.0. The card i'm looking at is the Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti GOLDEN SAMPLE 1GB. My question is will i see a good improvement graphics wise over my X1950 Pro (cos of my motherboard) and is this a good option to keep for future upgrades at least for a bit. You should also note that I don't play on massive monitors using a 17in at the moment.
Yes you will see a significant frame rate increase. However, you will find you're gonna be CPU/RAM/Board limited due to them being rather old parts now. Oh and the 560Ti is massive overkill for 17inch monitors so you're gonna have to upgade your monitor as well
Yes it will work. It is also massively overkill for a 17" screen. Not that theres anything wrong with that if you intend on getting a bigger screen at some point.
