So my AMD Radeon HD 5770 really isnt't cutting it anymore for gaming, and I'd like to upgrade from it. I'm on a budget, I'd prefer to only spend between $150 and $250 on a new card, as long as it's a significant improvement over the old one. However, I'm curious if you guys think the other components on my 5 year-old rig would just hold a new graphics card back.
Full specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 750 quad 2.67 GHz
GPU: AMD Raedon HD 5770 1GB
RAM: 8GB
PSU: 450W
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
PCIe Slots: 1
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Country: USA
So... how much better of a GPU could I get without bottlenecking? I don't want to get a whole new PC as mine is running great, but it's just fallen behind in gaming.
For those curious, some games I own that don't run that well: The Witcher 2, Far Cry 3, Metro Last Light, Dark Souls, Bioshock Infinite. I tend to get 25 - 35 fps at medium settings.
