AMD Athlon 64 x2 5000+ 2.6 ghz

[--grant--]

I was wondering if it would be worth it to drop a 4870 or possibly a 4890 into my computer to tide me over until next-gen cards are released or around christmas.


I have 2 gb ram also. Feedback appreciated!! I currently have a 7900 gs btw which is not cutting it anymore obviously.

You don't necessary have to invest that much into a video card. HD4770 or HD4830 will be fine till you're ready to invest in a new CPU/motherboard.

If you prefer Nvidia, I'd probably try to find a 8800GT(9800GT) or 8800GTS (G92) version.

Save up and get yourself a newer AM3 system or i7, i5 system.

Thanks all. Jeez, first post and 3 replys... I think I am going to like this community.

I have decided to wait for the 5870 and build an uber rig with an i5. Again thanks all.
