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.

as i said your system is perfectly fine and you can overclock your pro more to gain more FPSs in Games.
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

I am Also Buying A gtx 760 4gb with free watch dogs lol anyways it will reduce electricity bill marginally.
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.

    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.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    I tried both NayaPay, and UBL, but I keep getting "correct country selected..." error. I already have PK set there 🤦‍♂️
