Will GTX 560 Help my OLD Dell XPS 720?

I would dare to say: None!
(and surely be flammed for it )

Honestly none, compared to what will happen as soon as your 1Gb VRAM is full (happens almost immediately with CoD) and your system starts swapping objects in the memory

~S~

I wonder if it would be possible to get an update on the practical results of this proposed hardware upgrade.

To what extent is it worthwhile upgrading the GPU with the same CPU as described here?

Many thanks for any help.

Best regards,

Seanmick.

In addition to the differing clock speeds, one of the cards you posted is the regular 560 and the other is the 560 Ti. The Ti has another SM enabled, bringing another 48 cores and the associated texture units and other hardware. It is going to be generally more powerful than the 560.

Just another thing to look into when comparing the two cards.



EDIT: Also, as far as I know upgrading your GPU would be worth it with that CPU. I was able to use much of the power of my previous PC's GTX 460, and that was with a Core 2 Duo.

Many thanks for the prompt and useful reply.

The GTX560 Ti card seems like it may be a viable upgrade path to extend the useful life of the system.

Best regards.

There is also a 560-448.It has more shaders than the TI.
