Hi guys,
I'm upgrading my current system:
E6600 2.4Ghz (Scythe Mine cooled) => might OC to 3GHz
MSI P965 Neo F
2GB Corsair PC6400
X1950XT 256MB
206BW samsung
520W OCZ Modstream
ok so the thing I want to upgrade is my X1950XT. It's just not good enough at 1680*1050...
I have 3 options....
* I buy a 9800GTX for 219€ Club 3D (don't know howmuch £ that is... i think its a british forum right?)
* I buy a 8800GTS 512MB 92 core for 219€ (XFX XXX edition)
* I wait for the new cards to come
I prefer option 1 because I heard good stories about the 9800, but also of the 8800GTS 512
Another problem is: will my system bottleneck the 9800GTX/8800GTS?
I've seen many systems with a E6600+8800GTX so I suppose a 9800GTX would work as well? Concluding that the 9800GTX isn't that much faster than the 8800GTX.
What do you guys think?
The target is to play Crysis at high/very high smoothly!
And is a Club3D a good brand for gfxcards?
Thanks a lot
