Graphics card questions

[Guest grover234]

Currently I have to play on LOW for all settings and it takes me an extra minute or 2 to load into a new map.

 

So I was thinking of updating my graphics card

 

I have a

GeForce GTX 560 Ti

 

and was looking to get a

GeForce GTX 760 Ti

 

I have 2 sticks of 8GB RAM too.... maybe this is the issue and not the G card?

 

Looking for advice on how to not suck

 

I'm also looking to add another monitor

 

Thanks for the advice and opinions

I was also thinking about getting a 760 but after doing my research i found that the geforce GTX 670 is pretty much the same thing.

I think it would be just a matter of finding out if you could get either the 670 or 760 cheaper than the other.

GeForce GTX 780 Ti

 

what about this instead?

 

its only $700 (LOL)

but maybe i can get that

Loading the game is all the HHD's deal, if you had a SSD you would load faster most likely. I would go with the 760 over the 670 yes essentially they are the same, but the 760 I do believe runs cooler and uses less power. With the 760 you should be able to run BF4 at 60FPS on high settings, which honestly makes little difference compared to extreme.

3 things to do (still on low though, but helps):

1) defrag hd

2) look at creating a user.cfg to update some hidden settings: http://segmentnext.com/2013/11/06/battlefield-4-tweaks-guide-how-to-improve-graphics-and-performance/

3) shut down other processes that might be running that aren't needed (task manager)

 

but getting a new gcard will definitely help in performance in game (not load time). Faster load time = faster CPU, faster disk, faster RAM, then faster gcard.

 

everyone is loading slow though.
