I'm toying with the idea of a new video card, too. I'm thinking I could justify a GTX 950 for my current rig. I'll get something that does more damage with my next build.

I might go with an ATI card again. Havent in a while. The Radeon R9 380 is one I'm looking at.
Did some digging at Tom's. They do a monthly break down on graphics cards by price it seems. Can you say obsolescence?!

Look at techreport.com for better reviews and plots on cards.

I did end up with a GTX 950. Even though Nvidia's website recommends the 970 for Fallout 4, the game automatically chooses Ultra settings with the 950, and so far it's very smooth. At 1920x1080. If you're running a higher resolution, you may still want something more powerful, but I'm happy finding out the 950 was a viable solution for me, considering how much cheaper it is.

Fallout 4 is sucking up my time, for sure. There's a lot I'm fuzzy on how to do, which might be why I'm spending an ungodly amount of time trying to collect materials for building up the settlements and gain experience by crafting. I need to make my character a bit stronger soon, as I'm running into some pretty tough encounters, and I'll admit I've turned the difficulty down a few times when my deaths were going into the double-digits. I can only take so much of that frustration.

What processor do you have. I have an i5-760 Wow, it's been longer than I thought. It was top-of-the-line at the time. Intel Core i7-975.

Loser. I have an i9-11745 [/quote] WOW, such old technology. I have the Intel i-∞ 6.66 Penta Hz processor that is so fast, it travels backwards in time so it can finish the processing before it even starts. But you try and tell the young kids of today, and they won't believe you.
