Thinking of buying my son an upgrade of a new GPU in the below machine, I know it will be bottlenecked by the CPU somewhat, but it's the fastest the Mobo will take (or at least minimally) - and I don't want to go the full hog just yet on a new PC.
Motherboard: ASUS F2A85-V PRO ATX 4DIM
CPU: AMD A10 5800K Blk
Graphics: HD 7660D + Powercolor Radeon HD6670 800MHZ 1GB GDD
Memory: 8GB Patriot Viper 3 DDR3 1866MHz
Cooling Solution: COOLER MASTER Hyper TX3
Hard-Drives: Hitachi 1TB SATA
Power Supply: Antec 550w
Operating System: Windows 10
Dual 19" monitors at 1600 x 900
Thinking of replacing the HD6670 with a - MSI Radeon R9 380 4G DX12 Graphic Card – 4GB GDDR5.
Right now with the APU and the HD6670 running in dual graphics it's meant to be similar in performance to a HD7870 (this is the best card that will run with the APU in dual graphics)
So question is - is it worth it? Will there be a noticeable difference in performance? Is there something else I could do or go for a cheaper card and still get as good as or close to in performance?
