P3D Hardware Upgrade

[FlyingEngineer 0]

Hi

 

I consider upgrading some components of my PC in order to get more frames in P3D v3.

 

My PC System:

 

i7 4770K @ 4,3Ghz

GTX 770 OC

Screen Resolution: 1680 x 1050

DDR3 1366

Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

 

Is it worth upgrading my Graphic Card (GTX 970/980/980TI)?

Or is it better to upgrade my Mainboard in order to use the i7 6700k and DDR4 3000+ Ram.

 

Which component(s) should I upgrade?

 

Thanks in advance

I'd say,

I. if you are single, And independently wealthy...screw it....hire a consultant.

II. If a $Buck-eighty won't hurt for longer than your enjoyment of it... go for it...upgrade BOTH.

A.If not independently wealthy, you gotta consider;

1.maxing your 770, it's gonna cost you $500-$800...maxing your 4770...$800-$1000 MOBO, CPU, Ram....

a. I'd say your MOBO/CPU/RAM will have longer lasting effect

2. I'll bet GeForce 98x will drop with spring..and used 98x(s) may well be lots more affordable.

 

III.IF NOT Single and not independently wealthy;

A.. how much discretionary cash you got in yer pocket vs;

1. Consider the the incipient shegrief at home or;

B.the guilt of self indulgence, or;

1. Fair play-you get to play with $1000-$2000;

2. So does she. Or;

3. Buy that couch she's wanted for so long...and;

4. Move your sliders to the left.

 

 

See how simple things are?

 

Cheers,

Chas

But what would be more effective?

 

Graphic Card or Processor?

Is there a huge Fps Difference between the Gtx 980 and 970. The Gtx 970 is cheaper (350$) than the 980 (>450$). I watched some YouTube Videos showing the fps using a Gtx 980/970. There was a difference around 20 FPS.

 

But does anyone know the Fps difference between These two cards in P3d?

Here is what was said about going from the 780  which is what i have. Didn't convince me either way but still went with the 980 Ti  Hybrid.

Not sure what the difference between the 770 and the  780, there always seems to be some.

Went from a 770 to a Titan X, smooth as silk.  Make sure your PSU has enough power.  I purchased a 1200 Watt some time ago anticipating the move up.
