hi to all Pg members..
i need sugggestion about my GPu upgrade and power Consumption..my current gaming system is as following
i7 920 @ 3.8 Ghz
12 GB DDR3 1600Mhz Ram
Zotac GTX 580 3GB
TX 750 Watt
Raven RV02 Casing..

till now my system can play almost all games at max setting.but my main concern is the power consumption and heat it goes to 73C when gaming & 40C idle. how much difference will i see if i upgrade to a GTX 760 power consumption and performance wise.or should i wait and upgrade to a higher level card after few months. cant go at AMD as i use the system for editing as well so Cuda Cores Required..and many online forms say 5XX generation is better then 6XX as they r crippled bandwidth wise. But 7XX Generation is back on track.
so suggest weather continue using the same card and upgrade latter or upgrade now.

Yes though of taking it to 4---4.2Ghz if possible but with hipper 212evo this is the beat i could do. Stress test 3 hours and the temps were 74 to 78C being the hottest core..( and i don't use A/C in my Room).

My only point was which i couldn't figure out was how much electric bill will i save if i shift to gtx 760.will it be huge or minor

Thats what on my mind.. Get it imported from newegg.com its 249.99$ with watchdog MSI Gtx760 4gb. It won't cost u more than 31K as galaxy is selling about 40k.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    It is indeed the worst generation by far.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
