Hi, i'm new here,

this is my spec:

+ OS : Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1
+ CPU : Intel Core i7 870 @ 2.93GHz
+ RAM : 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3
+ Motherboard : Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. H55M-S2H (Socket 1156)
+ Graphic : W2253 (1920x1080@60Hz)
1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 5800 Series (XFX Pine Group)
+ PSU : (Model : ENP 550AAB A) manufactured by Enlight. 550W

What I want to ask are:
1. does this spec still count as low-end for game purposes? (i play battlefield 3 today, and i got only 20-30 fps in low graphic settings)

2. I've messed up the graphic drivers really bad (until I have to use system restore and fixed by clean installation of newer graphic driver). Before that event, i can run any game in ultra pretty decently (game such as WoW: Cataclysm, FarCry3, Crysis2). After doing clean installation of the graphic drivers, all games can run on ultra, but as soon as i restart the computer or shut it down, all game will have major fps drop even in normal graphic settings. If there is a solution please help me.

3. If this thing cannot be fixed, and the problem is in the graphic card, I plan to buy a new graphic card. What is a better graphic card compared to ati radeon HD 5830 to be used in my spec?

thx.

thx for answering,

from the link you gave, I have 2 options:
1. geforce gtx 760
2. amd radeon HD 7870

Are they have the same pci-e slot as ati radeon HD 5830?
