I probs should OC my CPU a bit, to be exact, 70 MHz so I can have a 3GHz machine. Running on stock box cooler.
It's not inherently "better". It's a tweaked version of the same chip... You're CPU bottlenecked anyway
Seriously, a 610? You might as well use the onboard Intel chip. Wouldn't make much of a performance difference.
I know it's pathetic. Not my choice it was my dad. When we bought it, he told me it was a "high end" card. wtf dad
That card is literally worse than a lot of onboard Intels. In non-GPU related news, I have decided to save up for a FX-8320 and a BIOSTAR TA970. It'll be $190 if I buy the CPU on eBay and since I sold my 650ti I just need about $90. EDIT: I'm thinking that I should be able to sell my current CPU/motherboard for $100 or so. (I only found one used A8-3850 with a worse motherboard than mine on eBay it was asking $125.)
@above Heck, even the new 610 is worse than ivy bridge integrated and haswell had improvements over that. AMD's are another step up. Not that my 770 is half shabby.
