Hi,
Been thinking recently about upgrading RAM & Cpu (fx 8350, +8gb ram) but as my main interest is gaming, I've now been told that upgrading my GPU is probably the best option.
I currently have:
Phenom 955 3.2Ghz quad
4GB 1600MHZ DDR3
MSI R5870
Would a GPU upgrade be the best choice?
If so, is now a good time to upgrade as I hear the next AMD GPU series may be announced soon?
I've been looking at a few comparisons, one that stood out to me was the high end gpu chart from this site:
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html
The Titan vastly outperforms anything else there but is obviously far more expensive, would the next generation of GPUs be close to that performance or is this card simply a one-off O.T.T card?
If not - would the 7950HD be a significant upgrade? it currently sells in the UK for around £200 while the 7970 starts at £300.
