New GPU upgrade for my system
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Hi,
I just wanted opinions on a possible upgrade I'm planning to do in terms of video cards.
current system:
core 2 duo E6600 @3ghz (scynthe ninja)
4g of ram pc 6400
gigabyte P965 S3 (775 socket)
win 7 64 bit
evga 8800 gt 320mb
650 watt psu (quality one)
I'm presently playing Dragon Age, and I'm really looking forward to Directx 11. so I was wondering if my system would see a huge improvement with a 5770? Or is my CPU will bottleneck this GPU?
I know the 5850 is much better than the 5770, but I can get a 5770 for 180$ canadian, and the 5850 is 300$ and in backorder. I think the 5770 is plenty for me. Should I wait for the Nvidia cards coming out early next year?
Thanks for any suggestions!

thanks,
the 5770 seems to be in stock on many online store in canada anyways, but the 5850 is out of stock everywhere.
As for oc my cpu, I just don't know how much voltage I should go up until... my heatsink is pretty good, maybe I could oc a bit more to extend its lifespan!!!
So a 5770 for the equivalent of 170US$ is that a good deal??
