Upgrading gpu

[trilgot]

i have a Pny 6600gt is the sapphire radeon hd4830 1gb a good upgrade for gaming or is there any other card around the same price?

That is a good leap forward. Do it!

Thanks for your advice

Don't get the 1GB version. The card can't use all the RAM.

Get the 4830 512mb, or get the 4770 512mb (which is better)

If your pc has a Geforce 6800 in it just get a new computer.
Your cpu would severely bottleneck anything stronger than what you have.

Oh oops my assumption lol.
What is your power supply rating?
What OS are you running?
And what games are you going to be playing?

Yep get the HD 4830.

I recommend this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161267

That is if you have room for a dual slot cooler.

Actually the HD 4850 might be best for you.
