I would like to ask some advice, I have an opportunity to purchase either a new video card or a new cpu for my system. I currently have:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Processor S939 (Venice or Clawhammer?)
Video: BFG 6800GT OC 256MB AGP
Motherboard is PCIExpress and AGP capable
Games played are: Oblivion, NWN2, TotalWar2 and other Strat or RPG type games, I normally don't buy FPS.
My question is for the type of games I play should I invest in a faster CPU or a faster Video? Your advice is greatly appreciated.
My thoughts were leaning towards a new video card and in particular the X1950 Pro as well. I don't think any games I am playing will take advantage of a dual cpu. Currently it is actually a tossup between the X1950Pro, X1900GT or wait for the X1650XT.
Plus, when C2D came out, no one had it in stock, so they jacked up price for morons to order (more like pre-order ). Newegg had some 8800GTXs and GTS in stock earlier when someone gave link.
