Good to be back after a long time. If I make any mistake while posting please pardon me.

Neways, I want to upgrade from HD6850 to a decent entry level to mid range gpu. Budget is 15k max. No idea about current market situation.
My pc specs :
Amd 955BE quad core
corsair xms2 2x4Gb RAM
Dell U2412M 24" display
Corsair VX450W(I know its old but still going strong)

So, please some advise would be really helpful. Also what about DX12 compatiblity. Do the current generation gpu is compatible/support DX12 specs.

Regards,
John.

Thanks for your replies.

One more query. How much of a upgrade would be GTX 750 Ti and GTX 960 from HD 6850. And would AMD Phenom II X4 955BE @ 3.2GHz be a bottleneck for GTX 960 or even for GTX 750 Ti.

Check the following chart...

As per their recommendation, if the new card is atleast 3 levels higher, then the upgrade will be worth it..

I had same doubt. It turns out that it won't be. For me CoD:AW ran without shuttering in cut scenes when upgraded to GTX 960 from HD6950.
