Hey,
I wanted to know what the best option for me would be. I've currently got a ATI HD3850 in my pc. I've got a budget of R1000 (South-African currency) to upgrade my gfx.
My option are a brand new ATI 3870 (512mb/256bit) for R1000
or
A used ATI 4850 (512mb/256bit) for R900
In regard to performance versus price (and longevity) would it best to get the 4850?
My current specs:
Windows 7 64-bit
AMD X2 4000+ (Overclocked to 2.7ghz)
4gb DDR800 Ram
ATI HD3850 (256mb/256bit)
320gb SATA HDD (Internal)
500gb HDD (External)
450watt PSU (Not at my pc at the moment so I can't give the amps)
26inch LG HDTV connected via DVI to HDMI converter
Thanks
