Hi guys! I need a GPU upgrade for my system that will suite my cpu


- Core2Duo E6600 2.4ghz with Scythe Nina mini cooler

- 4gb corsair ram

- nvidia 8600gt

- corsair VX450 PSU

- I play on 1280x1024 19' Samsung


I want a GPU that will fit my CPU "like a glove". I don't want to overclock, and I'm not interested in changing anything else but GPU.

Maybe 4770??

4850 costs lil less then 4770 but performs better

Uh, what is it then?? 4850 or 4770, and what about new 5850 and 57xx series? Is it worth upgrading to that generation of GPU with my kind of screen and CPU? What should I finally buy?

New GPU - what a conundrum! :( I'm even more puzzled now than I was before.

Nah, with your CPU and screen I wouldn't get a 5850 or 5870, you could get a 4850 or wait for something like a 5670 (though I'm not sure if they'll be released anytime soon.)

------------------------------ CPU: Intel Core i7 920 @3.2Ghz, MOBO: Asus P6T SE, RAM: 3x 2gb OCZ Platinum OCZ3P1600LV6GK, GPU: Sapphire HD 5870, PSU: Corsair HX520W, HDD: Seagate ST31000528AS 1Tb 32mb, COOLER: Scythe Mugen (S775 version), CASE: Coolermaster CM690
