Here is comparison of ZOTAC GT 740 and GTX 750 Ti. (750 Ti offers better performance, both GPUs have low power consumption, not a big difference in price.)

Here is comparison of GTX 750 Ti and GTX 950 (that Blackout mentioned).

I’m currently using GTX 950 + AMD 6300 combo, playing on max settings @ 1280×1024.

I wound up ordering one of these:

2.7GHz i5 6400, 12GB RAM, 2TB disk, Intel HD Graphics 530. Lots of places are selling these refurbished for less than $500. I figure I can add a discrete GPU later. Power supply is not strong (only 300W), but this discussion here:

…suggests that a GTX 950 shouldn’t be problematic, given the low power draw of the CPU.

It looks like they’re largely reneging on the Zen reimbursement. If you ever logged into your account, even once, from a Windows machine or using an emulator, they are saying you aren’t a Mac user and aren’t eligible for the reimbursement. Bear in mind here that when New Dawn launched, the Mac client broke completely. Many people (including myself) used a home-rolled wineskin client so we could at least log in. Performance wasn’t high enough to engage in real gameplay, but I could use the auction house and chat. Everyone who did so is disqualified.

A discussion of the whole thing that I’ve linked on Twitter:

That could disqualify a lot of Mac users, it is sad how they responded.

[Lhivera]

Aye. And now it seems a bunch of people who have never logged in with a Windows machine or emulator are also being excluded, because…reasons? In fact, between Twitter, Reddit, and the official forum thread, I have yet to see a single user who HAS received a reimbursement.
