So, Hello everyone. I have an i3-4160 Proccessor. (I know it's shit.) and I want to buy a new graphics card. The GTX 950. I just want to know how much FPS I would get in Minecraft. Well, also in the UHC's of badlion. I also want to know if CS:GO Would run smooth too. But main question is that will I lag in Badlion UHC's. I would like to Record+Stream on this setup too. Will I still run it smoothly? Thank you for reading and I hope you will answer my questions if you know the answer to them xD <3- Draxler

The GTX 950 is a great card. You could probably use medium-high settings in CS:GO and max out Minecraft. However, you might want to consider upgrading your CPU for a bigger FPS boost.The Intel i5-6500 CPU is a mid-range chip about $205 if you ever consider upgrading your CPU as well.

Thanks for that @Minion_Does_MC. Right now I could only afford a Graphics card though. But I will take in consideration your idea. I will hopefully get the money for the Processor too. :)Posted on 07 October 2016 - 03:11 PM

You can easily run csgo with full settings with a 950

960 is $30 more and performs better. Just save up for it.Last edited on 07 October 2016 - 07:21 PM by Minion_Does_MC

I figured you could. I was being on the safe side since his CPU isn't the best.

If you don't know how much FPS it will get you, YouTube i3 4160 gtx 950 and then whatever game you want, I guarantee you there's videos.Sorry to break it to you but with your processor, being an i3 with only 2 cores, and a pretty low clockspeed, streaming won't be very enjoyable on it.
Also, DO NOT GET THE GTX 950, the card is pretty much a rip off with the price it's at, especially with so many better, more powerful options.. For the same price, you can get much better performance with the 380

The r9 380 is a much better card, and even the GTX 960 if you have a few more extra dollars to spare (http://pcpartpicker.com/product/mm8H99/pny-video-card-vcggtx9602xpbxeoc)

Okay @Cavasi So. I have now $215. I want to buy my graphics card off the internet and a shop that accepts paypal. I live in Romania aswell. Can you tell me a site that accepts paypal and ships internationally? I really couldn't find one. Amazon does not accept PayPal unfortunetaly..Posted on 15 October 2016 - 07:12 AM
Which one is better? RX 470? Or GTX 960Last edited on 15 October 2016 - 07:55 AM by MrZekk
Does it even matter? It's fucking minecraft, almost any modern pc can run this gameNVIDIA is always better in GPU, go for it always. AMD is shit for its CPU so don't buy it, but their GPU is not the worst

Okay, my only problem here is that I want to Pay with PayPal (no credit card) and I need a shop that uses PayPal and that can transport to Romania.Posted on 17 October 2016 - 06:38 PM
