the 990 Motherboard doesn’t support PCI-E 16 v3.0…

Consider this when upgrading. It’s mostly influences load times ino maps where this could be noticed I guess… but certain versions of the 900 series of nvidia have narrow(ed) busses. this with a lower bus spec will influence the performance.

So what you’re saying is I should probably look at upgrading absolutely everything rather than just the graphics card at this point? I don’t mind having a little wait to actually get a huge performance upgrade, I’ve had a bit of a research and the CPU I currently have is a huge mistake by AMD and was not a very good product as well.

I thank everyone for their input too and I’ll be looking at a 970 by the sounds of it or a 980 if I’m super keen!

So I’m looking at upgrading my systems graphics card for the first time in a while now I live in australia and can buy directly from a supplier (work in retail ftw) and I’m just wondering I’ve had a few issues with cards in the past not working very well or up to par of what they should do as apparently according to my Tech they bottleneck with my cpu so here is my specs and I would love to be able to play most new gen games as well! Need that ultra setting running smoothly
