Orpheus148 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2017 Hey guys, I had my pc built almost a couple years ago. Here's what I got: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.50GHz GTX 980 MSI Z97 Gaming 5 16gb Ram Corsair RM750 I don't have liquid cooling. I'm wanting to upgrade my gpu to MSI GTX 1080, but I was wondering your thoughts on the graphics card itself and the rest of the system. Thanks in advance! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never really notice it getting to not. Mid 50s to low 60s is what I remember seeing last time I checked. I do play retail from time to time and it's just started running it so poorly on mid to high settings, I have no idea why. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
