Guest MAJ.Spartan-S63=US= Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 The most beneficial upgrade based on those specs would probably be the graphics card. But even that won't get you all that many gains. If you were to go to a 980, you would improve your power efficiency and your graphics performance quite a bit.

Guest COMR4DE Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I agree with SFC, Everything you got is solid, the most outdated is the GPU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How should I go about connecting my monitors? Display Port to HDMI? Is there a more beneficial way of doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MAJ.Spartan-S63=US= Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 How should I go about connecting my monitors? Display Port to HDMI? Is there a more beneficial way of doing it? From what it looks like, you have one DVI port, one HDMI port, and three DisplayPort connections on the card. You can connect one of those monitors via HDMI and the other monitor you can connect with a DVI to HDMI adapter or a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. It doesn't matter either way. DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI are all digital signals so interchanging between the two result in minimal, if any, signal loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RET.GEN.Darmine Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 HDMI can handle up to 60hz refresh rateDVI and DP can handle more than 60hz refresh rate But since you have IPS you don't have to worry about higher refresh rates, my suggestion is you go with one DVI-D and one display port for each monitor. If you don't have a Display Port for the monitor then just use HDMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
