I get a message on login saying my graphics cards out of date but everything seems to run smooth. I don’t have any issues currently.

Update your graphics card driver, is what it means

169

Tried that, didn’t work.

Pretty easy to just enter through it.

170

It’s because a 650 is under spec, min is 560 but a 560 is better then a 650.

It doesn’t mean much in the end of things though since it all still works for you.

171

Yep.

I do have a question though that you computer peeps might be able to answer.

I am thinking of an upgrade and previously I was told that it’s better to go with an intel chip and GTX graphics card as wow works better on those.

Now I have no idea if this is actually correct and I do remember reading something about wow being old architecture and was design to get the most out of single cores or something which is why it works better because it relies more on the cpu then gpu.

Now I have no idea what any of that means but I do know there are a lot of nerds I work with who are excited about the new stuff being brought out by AMD.

What I want to know is if I should go with AMD or intel or if it doesn’t matter what so ever.

Note: the only game I play is wow but I want to play it on a 43inch 4K display without any issues.

What I don’t know is what I’ll need to do that?

I’m curious as the display is Samsung that apparently has free sync built in so I assume it would be beneficial to go down the AMD path buuut only if that works.

I wish I knew more about this stuff, but alas I don’t

Anyway, any guidance you could provide here would be greatly appreciated.

172

If you can wait it may be worth it to upgrade with AMD parts that are coming. The new CPUs look good and the GPUs should be adequate for the money.

Btw, since you have a 3570 just about any of the new AMD cpus coming out will kick it’s butt in wow.

173

Haha kinda figured anything would be better then what I have.

I’m not in a hurry so happy to wait. I don’t mind spending a bit to future proof myself for a while so I don’t have to worry about this sort of thing.

In your opinion do you think it would be worth sticking with intel or switching?

174

Intel won’t have anything new out for awhile and the new AMDs should be about equal to the last stage of intel, so no reason not to go with AMD, specially cost wise.

nvidia vs. amd is a different story, if you want to drop on something like a 2080 you’re not going find anything better on the AMD line.

175

The feeling of having a 2 year old chip and only now being threatened by the competitor in terms of gaming performance…it feels amazing.

176

I mean, really not a lot of difference between the 9 series and 8 series so isn’t more like a 3 year old chip? :stuck_out_tongue:

Only problem with intel is price and their removing HT from most of their chips for someone like me who makes use of of HT.
