Upgrade My PC Please! Episode 5: Dem Tings Wit Graphics

[Alexmc]

Vince doesn't even have a GPU lol. Hopefully he can get one.

 

[King Charles]

Good luck Anduu!

 

[Edslet]

There is only one real potato here... pls give Vince the needed upgrade

 

[MrFlare]

Poor Vince, doesn't even have a gpu!

 

[Skyline4727]

Gotta go for Vince, dude doesn't even have a discrete graphics card.

 

[MuffinDealer]

I have a Core 2 Quad system ... please include EU soon .

 

[MartKos]

Upgrading Vince's PC seems like the best possible choice here . While all of the "competitors" would very much benefit from having their PC (mostly CPU) upgraded, Vince's PC is just that much more worse (sorry Vince) because of that missing GPU. So good luck to you Vince, hope you win and enjoy that very much needed upgrade .

I feel so bad for the JigSaw PC so many deaths.

You get a ryzen, you get a ryzen, EVERYONE* GETS A RYZEN.

But seriously, I know the struggle too well with having a apu. My a8-5500 was so bad. ugh. I cant believe I was able to play on it from 2013 to 2017. I upgraded myself to ryzen (1600) quite recently and already performance is through the roof with my day to day task, not just game. Only think I'm lacking in my build is a better gpu (working with a r9 270 for now) and more storage.

Anyways, some interesting builds. Good luck to the contestants!

 

[Shav21]

Really hope the people that win, make a video or take pictures of their upgrades would love to see that

 

[DarrenRufus]

Poor Liam, must be cursed or something.

Sama's Upgrades are fairly reasonable, but I'm surprised to see a suggestion for the R3 1200 and GTX 1060 3GB. IMO, I think the R5 1400 or 1500X with a GTX 1050 Ti would've been a better choice, due to the 1050 Ti having more VRAM and having SMT on the Ryzen Cores. Nevertheless, I know OCing the R3 CPUs can get you close to R5 Performance, so I may be wrong to suggest that.

Good luck to Everyone, and may the bes- I mean, worst build win.

A GTX 1060 3GB is almost 60% faster than a GTX 1050Ti 4GB. The 4GB on the 1050Ti doesn't compensate for its lower performance.
I upgraded my htpc from a Asus gtx 1050ti 4gb Strix to an inno3d gtx 1060 3gb and the difference was hughe.

I also wote for PotatoSama. He should be able to game a little

 

[codgerface]

Graphics are neat!

 

[xShadoWalkeR]

Man Vince doesn't even have a graphics card... I really feel bad for him hope he can win that pc really needs an upgrade!

 

[TheEagle88]

Vince's PotatoSama is getting my vote. I think he need it the most.

 

[MistaMitten]

Wow, this has been the hardest decision yet, all really deserving! I ended up voting for Harris, that power supply scares me, + the fact that he uses the PC for more than gaming, was the deciding factor. Good Luck to everyone!!

 

[Sidechaff]

Vince definitely deserves to win

 

[kanishck]

Just hope potatosama wins.
enjoy bro

 

[NGnius]

Sorry, I have to vote Canadian

 

[Cycloid Torus]

Liam needs a bit of easy.. well, actually all of them do - Good luck folks!

 

[DarkLord]

Good luck everyone! Also that AMD A5800K makes me sad, that PC really needs some love...

 

[methebest]

I voted for PotatoSama as I feel the others could get by with their gpus

 

[Aphidness]

Oh yeah, that front panel mod, here is my vote for Andrew!

 

[Crissyfox]

Everyone should AT LEAST have a dedicated graphics card in 2017. Go PotatoSama!

I agree, I just got rid of integrated graphics a couple of months ago XD

 

[BobizCool]

Lol. I think this week was a bit unbalanced. On one hand you got people with 480's and then you got a guy without dedicated graphics!
