Hi all,

I'm looking into to the possibility to upgrade and would like to know whether my current system would be sufficient if I would upgrade the graphics card by itself. The reason for upgrading would be X Rebirth, it seems the 5870 1GB I have installed now does not cut it anymore.

Specs are below, thanks!

(I just noticed Speccy by Piriform reads out my memory at 668Mhz, that should be 1600Mhz as far as I remember)

Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1

For 2560x1440, you'll probably want something like a HD7970 or GTX770.
