OK, I know this might be a stupid question. The thing is that I've come across a bargain sapphire 7870 (100€), but my computer is ancient right now. CPU is an athlon 64 x2 (yes, am2 socket) and my current GPU is an amd 4850.
I was already thinking on a full upgrade by this year's last quarter, but I thought I could buy this GPU in the meantime.
So, I know there will be a severe bottleneck, what do you think about it? Will I notice an improvement or not?. Of course, I would reuse that GPU in the future once I upgrade, maybe until next gen GPU prices go down a little bit.
