9800GTX VS. GTS450 Help?

Okay i have a 9800GTX, and i was wondering if a GTS450 would be worth $80+?



Key Points: DirectX 11 and more CUDA's, but is it worth it? (Performance Wise) Like In WoW and RIFT I'm i gonna see a Good Increase in FPS, plus is F@H rate gonna go up enough to warrant the Price Tag??



Thanks|||The GTS450 and 9800GTX perform neck-to-neck in benchmarks. Unless you are going to be playing DX11 games or doing stuff with CUDA all day, there is no point in upgrading from a 9800GTX to a GTS450.



I hope this helps!|||The GTS 450 is much better performance then the 9800GTX.

The GTS 250 is the same as the 9800GTX and the GTS 450 has much better performance than both of them. The GTS 450 has DDR5 memory which is faster then DDR3, also it has DirectX 11 and more performance on CUDA. Also you will have an great increase on FPS with the GTS 450, It will play very high settings on Wow and RIFT. I promise you this will be a good upgrade and make sure you have at least a 500 Watts PSU (power Supply) to run the GTS 450. Make sure to get a good PSU brand such as Cool Master, Antec or Corsair. Also make sure if your CPU is a dual or quad to run this graphic card. I have the GTS 250 with a Intel Core 2 Duo 6850 and it sure can play lots of new games on high, but not much better as the GTS 450. It will be worth it, I promise you that. But if you want to get great performance in very high settings with newer games, I would save your money for a GTX 460 or GTX560. That should be your next step (if you like to play other games than RIFT and WoW).



Hope I helped ;)
