Ok so I decided to hold off on upgrading for some time.


Current video card is a gtx 770 2 gigs however it has what I need two dvi ports and an HDMI port.


I'm still running fx 8350 16 gigs of ram and I'm pretty sure it's only pci expresses 2.0

Looking for a new card .. price limit is 300$

Question 1

Will HDMI to dvi converters drop my frame rate? 2 of my 30 inch screens are dvi only one is HDMI.

Please feel free to give the best answers

Shipping is to Florida I have amazon prime if that helps.

I would wait a bit. The 2080's are coming out possibly as early as this Monday. W/e they DO come out, the prices of the earlier cards will drop.

As for your $300...

you're looking at something like the GTX 1060/6GB

/e here's a guide on the various cables and their differences...














/e Btw, there are 4 part numbers in that pcpartpicker link, the one I recommended is this one: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487275


Here is the Amazon link...(cheapest price) https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-06G-P4-6267-KR/dp/B01LYN9KK6
