Hello all,
I have been a lurker for a long time and have usually been able to find answers here without having to ask a question. Thank you!
To the point, I am trying to stretch out the life of my gaming PC for one more year (I have had it for just over 3 years). I want to upgrade my GPU but I am not very savvy. I definitely am an NVIDIA guy. Could someone please recommend a GPU that would work in my rig as far as compatibility and without bottlenecking?
My purpose is to be able to alpha and beta test the upcoming Star Citizen game on CryTek's CryEngine 3.
I would love to hear a cash is no object suggestion as well as a best bang for the buck option. I would also appreciate any other bang for the buck upgrade recommendations.
Here are my specs :
Chassis Model: Cooler Master 942 HAF X
Processor: Intel Core i7 930 2.8GHz OVERCLOCKED to 4.0GHz
Motherboard: ASUS Rampage III Extreme (Intel X58 Chipset)
System Memory: 12GB DDR3 1600MHz
Power Supply: 1200W
Hard Drive Set 1: OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS 240GB SATA 6Gb/s
Video Card(s): 1x NVIDIA EVGA GeForce GTX 580
Cooling: Asetek Liquid CPU Cooler
Thank you!
