Hi, i currently bought a gtx 650 ti
my specs:
Q8400 @ 2.66Ghz
4gb ram
Gtx 650 ti

i would need to upgrade my psu for a better card but is there any need
i am thinking of buying the gtx 660 or HD 7850 depending on the prices but will it be worth it

i plan on playing crysis 3, Metro last light and battlefield 3 this summer

p.s will i experience a bottleneck in my cpu with the 660 and 7850?

Your processor is fine. Though its time to upgrade that old boy now. If your resolution is anything less than 1920x1200/1080, you should be good with a 7770/7790/650 Ti Boost 1 GB. Any of these cards will give you playable framerates at 1680x1050. 7770 > 650Ti and is cheaper too, but I think if you can get 7790 or better still, 650Ti Boost 1 GB, it will really be worth it. 660 and 7850 is for 1080p resolution. if that's the resolution, then grab a 650Ti Boost 2 GB

i did my homework, the GTX 650TI wrecks the HD 7770
HD 7790 on the other hand has a negligible edge over the 650ti

so yea, i will stick with the 650 ti

out of topic: i loved bioshock infinite, the story was mind blowing
Whats the budget by the way?? If its anywhere near 20k then you should consider the 1GB version of 650Ti Boost

Yaar boost kay kuch aasar tou nahi hai pakistan mein :(
I too was waiting for it but now I will order a hd7850 once my exams are finished most probably. I would advise the OP to do the same.

I am anxiously waiting for the money. I will get it soon inshaAllah. I have my eyes on the Boost. 7850 seems a great gpu but I want to try NVidia this time. If I can't find it here, I will definitely consider importing it, if the price suits me. Lets hope it does.

at the price of a gtx 650 ti in pakistan, the boost is available on newegg for that much

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
