I currently have a GTX 560 TI. Would this be a good upgrade? I normally play Rome 2 and BF2

I would look at something more powerful if you want an upgrade. According to benchmarks the 7850 is only slightly better than your GTX 560 TI. The GTX 760 would be a better option for an upgrade.

This GTX 780 a good card and you would get 2GB more memory than whats on your GTX 690. However your 690 has 700 more cuda cores. I'm not sure what that will translate to in a difference. I use this 780 with a 780 TI for Octane rendering 3D CG animated scenes. I guess what you get out of it depends on how you will use it. I don't do gaming with my system (I make movies, animations, live action, etc..).

I got your question in an email, and yes this is a god solid card to look at, but also games like sc2 are often prone to lag by the cpu load. make sure you have a good cpu to handle all of that.

The 650 TI Boost will provide better performance. It has an extra Gig of memory and it will be faster, though the difference won't be tremendous. If you're not looking to do anything too serious on your computer then go with the 560, but if you want good performance out of games you should get the 650 TI Boost.

You're going to want somthing a little more beefy than a 650 ti if you plan on playing BF4 at decent settings, try going for either a 660-680 or a 7 series card.

Poorly. The default graphics card runs Battlefield 3 at a whopping 15 FPS. I'd definitely upgrade.

You should be able to upgrade your graphics card in the future. Just insure that your computer meets the card requirements.

the Ti is about 15% better on some games, however it is nearly unrecognizable to the human eye. I had the same concerns when I bought my card, however I like the higher vram count aswell as the much lower pricepoint. It will allow me to raid the cards much sooner than I would have normally.

It all depends on the the games you play and what kind of FPS you are looking to achieve. Its always worth it to upgrade as long as its needed. If you are already enjoying the games and applications you run on the highest settings and have no issues, then I would not upgrade just yet. However if you are having lag issues that are caused by slow load times on part of your video card, then yes, it is 100% worth it to upgrade to a 2GB card. The same can be said for just about every part in the computer. If its needed, yes upgrade it, if its not needed, then no, save your money until you need that upgrade.

I believe it would. I have thrown Rome 2 total war,left for dead 2,killing floor as well as DayZ Standalone and not once have I had any issue.Its a solid computer with an amazing graphics card......yes outdated but, not weak lol

I actually had a GT 9500 Nvidia and a 460GTX graphic cards. I can't even compare the GTX 760 to any of my previous cards except for the 460GTX, but with certain games. The 560ti is good, but for a couple more dollars and quality, i would go with something in the 700 series or higher. If you're into 3D rendering programs like Maya, Lightwave, 3D Maz and do not have a workstation computer, i would go with this card.

Depends...you usually want a balance between cpu power/ram and graphics.. But yeah a upgrade with g-card will usually give good results

I have two in SLI. I haven't played all new titles in 5760x1080, but i was able to run crysis 3 maxed out in surround. BF3 ran at very playable frames as well. Skyrim ran at over 60 fps with quite a few mods active as well. These cards in SLI will run anything on a single monitor maxed out even at higher single monitor resolutions. The 2gb of GDDR5 only starts to become taxed or insufficient when surround gaming comes into play at resolutions exceeding 5760x1080. If I were you i would spend a few extra bucks for two gtx 670 ftw+ with the 4gb of GDDR5. This will future proof you as far as surround gaming for a few years. Just my 2 cents. I have two in SLI.

I don't have battlefield 4 but do have games that run very smoothly on this card and some are games that if they run smoothly battlefield 4 will.

This is an all round good card for the money. You can play skyrim with minimal lag, but battlefield 4 deserves a better card like a 256 bit. One milisecond of lag makes all the difference in battlefield. This is for the occasional, not so hardcore gamer.

The 970 runs faster in general and has more VRAM. The 970 will definitely run any Battlefield game maxed out at 60+ fps, at least on 1080p. It is also cheaper. No contest.

Depends what you're playing, I am running one of these and can run bf4 on ultra at about 80 fps on windows 8 with an i5 and 16 gigs of ram but if i were you, i would get one 780 not two 770's
