Hi, i have a Sapphire 7950 boost, paired with a 3570K @4.2GHz and 8GB 1600MHz DDR3.... I get the regural frame drops on most modern titles from 60 to 50 fps and it is really noticable on my display.. I game on a 60Hz monitor and 1920x1080 resolution. No AA most of the time, and most of the time spend 10 minutes for each game to get it right, in order to enjoy the gameplay
Is it worth upgrading to a 970? Will my cpu bottleneck the card, and will my 600W coolermaster pro gold PSU handle it?
I dont have the money now, im just curious if its worth saving up for this card, or wait for next release from AMD.
 
Solution
Your CPU will not bottleneck a GTx970, and your PSU will handle it But I do recommend that you wait till a new release since your 7950 boost will be good enough at this point.
