Hi all, first time I'm posting here in search for some advice. I have an old system which I won't really be able to upgrade to anything even remotely modern for several more years and I hoping to get as much mileage out of it as I can.
My system specs are:
CPU: P4 2.8 (hyper-threaded to simulate 2 cores).
2 gigs of RAM
Coolmax 550 PSU (model CX-550B)
Nvidia 6800 GT (factory overclocked) 256 meg.
Resolution: 1280x1040 flat screen lcd
I know my options are limited, but I was wondering if its worth upgrading my video card or not. For example I found http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161284, but I don't know if I would see any significant performance over my current card or not. Quite a few games that I do play I can't have things like shadows enabled and a lot of settings are turned down in order for me to get decent FPS, especially when there's a lot happening on the screen. Thanks in advance.
