So I bought BF1, should I upgrade my GPU?

[thestrangebrew1]

I literally just bought the Standard Edition on Origin for $35. Haven't even tried it out yet as I'm at work, and won't be able to play till tonight. I currently run a 670 GTX with i7 2700k at stock speed. 16gb RAM, can't remember what speed it is. Should I upgrade? I only have a 1080p monitor, but I usually like to turn settings up. This is the first game I've purchased since bf4 probably. Anything sub$200 I should be looking at?

Have you tried it with your GPU? The game doesn't look "bad" at lower settings so give it a spin before investing in a new card.

Haven't tried it yet. I'm at work so I've got all day before I can try it at home. Just doing some research. I'll probably have to play on medium settings until I can afford a new gpu.

Yeah try it first before spending money for sure.

If you do decide to upgrade, the Radeon 480 or Nvidia 1060 can play BF1 @1080 maxed out.

Had a chance to play it last night but it wasn't for long. From what I could tell everything ran pretty smooth, I just let the game decide appropriate settings. I'll look into tweaking the options more tonight to see how high I can go with the settings.
