• Looking to buy new GPU+ NVidia Shield.
    14 replies, posted
Anyone have any suggestions for a graphics card to buy along with the NVidia Shield? My budget for everything is $650.
When you say everything, what exactly do you mean? Are you building a computer from scratch? If so: Does it include peripherals or do you have those already? What purpose do you intend to use the computer for?
I actually have abandoned SHIELD now. I just want a new GPU. But yes, I already have my system built.

Sounds like you'll want either the GTX 770 or the GTX 780. [url]http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-780-vs-GeForce-GTX-770[/url] About a 250 dollar price difference, both fit in your budget (in fact the GTX 780 [i]is[/i] your budget). But do please post your PSU, otherwise we cannot know if your computer can even handle it.

[QUOTE=casioravine21;41006068]I'll be abandoning my PSU right now, and getting a 750W. Model number is O206-0704[/QUOTE] A 750 Watt can cover either card. I'm not sure about SLI.
[QUOTE=flayne;41006102]A 750 Watt can cover either card. I'm not sure about SLI.[/QUOTE] 780 only totals about 250 watts, I think it could, it just be risking it.
You shouldn't worry with a 750W PSU, as there's no reason for you to do SLI unless you're going to be running 3+ screens Heck, you could probably squeeze in SLI if you wanted to, as long as you lay off of overclocking your processor

[QUOTE=taipan;41016153]You should really consider OC ing in the future. Its a massive free speed boost.[/QUOTE] Depends on what you mean with massive and free. You're not getting 20-30fps more in most cases, and about free - well you have to get a cooler for it and it doesn't last as long.
