It was difficult wording the original question, but I think Kaamos_Llama answered it. Basically, every system theoretically can be paired with a card that is optimal for that system. If you are then given a higher performing card to replace it, it won't improve performance, but at the same time...

Can someone give me the specific reasons concerning how a GPU that is "too powerful" can adversely affect your system as far as game play, when compared to a less powerful GPU? What exactly would a GPU do that would put it just out of the "sweet spot" and make a previous version a better...

I'm trying to put together my first gaming rig, and thanks to the huge number of opinions on the internet, deciding which Graphics card to get has become an arduous task. I have an LG 27GK750F-B 1080p 240Hz FreeSync Gaming Monitor: https://www.displayninja.com/lg-27gk750f-review/ And a Dell...
