Get it or not bother

I was thinking of finally getting a graphics card for the wifes i5 haswell. Since I built it she has been using the built in intel graphics and has been happy with it. All she plays is warcraft for games. Would a 750ti make a wow that looks fantastic difference or would I be better of buying her £100 worth of pagan jewellry and n8k naks for X-mas.

What resolution does she plays at? Anything 750ti or better will be a decent upgrade for eye candy specially

I'd probably go with a 950/960 to get the full DX12 support.

If she's happy with it, there's your answer.

Loaded question if you ask me. My girlfriend was "happy" with her GTX 680 running ArcheAge @1080 High settings 30-40FPS. It wasn't until I gave her my GTX 780 Lightning OC'd that she realized how bad her previous setup was. Now, she's rocking 2560x1080 Ultra settings 55-60 FPS and isn't looking back.

EDIT: @OP

Unless money is super strict, go for both 😀. I get my partner jewelry but she only uses it for evenings out. So I feel it goes mostly unused (since she has a freaking nice collection growing). But her GPU upgrade and monitor upgrade she uses every day.

I dont know exactly but I would guess the resolution at least 1280X1024. She uses a 22" Monitor. (Edge10 Ef220a LCD)

The 960 is not in the price range. The 950 is £40 more than the 750ti which is around £92. Is it worth a third more?

But I dont think she will appreciate the visuals until she sees it.

Lol that post is what I think she will realise. If I gave her an upgrade she would love it. She wont get both as the kids get priority so if there is a spare £100 it goes on them, not that they will appreciate it.

750 Ti would be a lot smoother in WoW than integrated. It would be immediately noticeable when the action gets heavy.
