How much of a performance boost will this card give over the 8400 gs? I need a good card for my older pc from 2006 and hope this one will do.

Not bad at all. I had an old NVida 6200 with 512 Mgs. memory and replaced it with this card. (This as an older Dell and only has PCI slots.) I couldn't believe how much better it runs graphics and games with this card. Since I can't upgrade my system (no money at present), I've upgraded the hardware as much as possible. I've noted there is this same model with 1 gig Video RAM and if I can find it on Amazon, I'll get it if it's not too high.

It has a low effect on FPS. If you are looking for more FPS you want a faster card, not one with more ram. This card should get you 30 FPS in most modern games, 60 fps in older ones and games that are well optimized (Very few well optimized games on PC)

Hey Ace, this is not a "huge" upgrade. I bumped up from a 460 to this and I really enjoy it, but I am still going to do the EVGA step up program and step up to either a 770 or 780.

I run a GTX 690, (dual 680s) with the 860W model. so as the others say, probably overkill, infact, may lose efficiency if you don't run in the sweet spot.

I just downloaded the demo and cranked up all of the settings (@2560x1600) with my GTX 780... I was getting about 200 FPS in the flight sim part. In other words, this card is about 3x more powerful than you really need--anything over 60 frames per second is wasted on most monitors. You could spend only $150-200 and get something that's more than enough for flight sims. The GTX 760 is reasonably priced, as are the older versions of the Radeon cards (ex. 7950 Boost).

It should definitely improve your graphics experience, but double check that your power supply can handle the new card. Also, is your current graphics handler integrated into the cpu or mobo?

Hey friend. I have been running this card on ultra with a variety of games ranging from Arma 3, BF3, to the very inensive Star Citizen and I really enjoy the card. I have little to no problems with frame rate or stuttering and would recommend it. However, the 970 gtx is two generations newer and takes a slight edge in performance. The 970 is a better card, but I believe the 780 should suit you just fine for your needs now. Looking forward, the 970 will be better long term and if you can afford it now, I'd recommend it for the sake of a longer useful life.

Can't say why, but I have only positive things to say. I built a quiet, modestly high performance system, & this was the GPU of choice for me. I use an Intel 4820k CPU & an Asus X79-Deluxe MB. My RAM is 4 sticks of 8MB GSkill RipJaws @ 1866. I was very careful to match capabilities of all components (2 SSDs & 3 HDDs not really affecting GPU performance). My GPU handles everything I throw at it.

I would see if you can find a GeForce 9400 gt pci 2.0 grafics card. This one works very well. I think ddr3 won't work for that older machine. You need ddr2.

Looking at the speaks on the GTX 560ti ....In my humble opinion I would definitely recommend you upgrade to the 780ti. You will only need one (1) card to run any game you want. I know that every Rig may perform differently and I really don't know if your running all your components on stock speed or OC. The 560ti does not support GPU Boost 2.0 and other new tech NVIDIA has come out with. Using Valley Benchmark my Graphics cards kicks in at 1333MHz with Video Memory at 3500Mhz all max setting with an average FPS of about 85. So will this card outperform to SLI 560ti I would think so. Good luck on your purchase. Looking at the speaks on the GTX 560ti ....In my humble opinion I would definitely recommend you upgrade to the 780ti.

If you are talking about the gtx 660 ti, the 660 ti is slightly faster than this card. Especially if you purchase(d) the asus 3gig version. If you are talking about a stock gtx660, then no, this card is faster. If I had a gtx 660, would I spend 200 dollars on this card?, I don't think so. I would either A, get another 660 and run sli. Or B. I would spend 150 extra dollars and get a 970

I have that exact build and the card is lightning fast! i use it for gaming and play games like LoL, MW2, and borderlands 2 wich i can max all at 1300x 768.

I really like my Titan Black card! I run everything maxed out and I don't even get slight frame delay. My Card is a Beast! I couldn't tell you anything about the 980. I am currently playing the new Wolfenstein The New Order. Everything is Maxed out and Video Sync is turned on. Glass smooth Graphics and the card runs cool.

This card will play it but the frame rates would be sad. Sub 20's probably. Go for an 8600GT or better yet GTS You'll get double the performance for not much more money. Also depends on what processor/ram you have??Woody

Performance will probably be very close, unless you start using very high resolution monitors or multi monitor setups that require the extra ram. Really, you are buying the extra ram for future as I haven't found anything that really uses this at standard 1080p resolutions. The draw for this card beyond the memory is the cooling setup. Very nice.

Acording to passmark, GeForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX+ scores 906, while GeForce GTX 650 Ti scores 2692. Since you run the 9800GTX in SLI, i would take into account a 75% in performance, making the "total" score of the SLI 1359. Then yes, I would replace them both with a relative good performance increase (and power consumption decrease)

Saw a review on it, said this a really good gpu. They said the speeds were I think 1020 with a boost up to 1085.
