Aion Graphics Card

Hey all I was going to upgrade my video card for Aion. Here are my specs:

Phenom II X3 720 2.8

Asus M4a79T Deluxe mobo (crossfire capable)

850w Corsair PSU

4g ram

Windows XP

I'm currenly running with a 9800GTX+ that I bought last year, but I'm dropping down to thirty frame rates when PvP events start happening... and getting some dragging. I was thinking about buying two 4850's. Does that sound like an OK upgrade?

The 5770 costs about the same as the 4870 and perform similary, if you're on a budget. Dont know what type of game Aion is..but if it's online, the problem might also be that your internet connection is too slow for heavy pvp.

OK I'm looking at the 5770 and it's a good price, but I'm wondering if the 128bit will make a difference or what. Is it really that big a deal?

newegg is out of them, guess i'll check around for one.

It's not your net connection. Before the nvidia driver update enabling SLI for that game, I was dropping into the 30s/40s with my 8800gtx (around the same as the 9800gtx).

Definately go with a single 5850 or preferably a 5870.. A 5870 would be much better than two 4850s, and you could add another one later down the road if you felt like you needed to.
