I'm looking for an affordable upgrade in graphics cards, something where I will be able to tell the difference in performance and graphics that is $350.00 or less. From what I read the 550 Ti is not meant to run efficiently on 1980/1020 resolutions, so I'm looking for something that is. I have a 620 watt Power Supply that I bought with the graphics card to support the 550. I have a 3.0 ghz AMD quad processor, and also curious if this might be a bottleneck w/ a new card.

Thank you, - Teapole

Asus GTX 660 Ti DCUII or MSI GTX 660 Ti Power Edition would be a fitting upgrade. Save what's rest of your budget and start saving for a new CPU and possibly motherboard.

Alternatively, you could go for Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor-X, but your CPU would probably prevent you from utilizing to its full capacity.
