I have this LGA 775 mb with a core 2 duo e8400 cpu. My current graphics card HIS 5850 is starting run hotter than normal during gaming and the fans are so loud I'm getting nervous there will be a meltdown. I'm running three Monitors on this system so I'm assuming the stress on the card is taking its toll.
My question is I want to get this XFX 7970 graphics card without upgrading my computer(yet). My Question; will I get a good upgrade in performance (FPS) while gaming or will my system hold this graphics card back?
My own assumption is that in regards to gaming the 3.0ghz clock speed on the duel core 8400 should be enough, but I'm not sure about the motherboard.
Thanks for the help
