My system is in the signature below. I have been thinking about upgrading GPU's for a while now. I have the 8800GTS's in SLI and they have been doing pretty well, but I have some money to spend and was hoping to crank up some settings.
Been playing BFBC2 and wanna get into BioShock 2 and the Fallout when it comes out. Some pretty graphic intensive games.
I have been waiting to see what Fermi looks like when it comes out in both the price and performance categories just like everyone else. I would really like to stick with Nvidia since I could use one of my old cards for physx. I would probably be looking at the 470.
I have also been looking at the 5850/70. Would rather stay with nvidia due to the physx and driver cleaning I would have to do, but if the price is right.
Just wondering if its even worth it to upgrade right now. I am looking to spend like 300-350. That gonna get me a good enough upgrade? CPU gonna bottleneck me at all? I have the Q6600 at 3.0 right now, havent really tried pushing it any further. Think I already have the voltage at 1.375.
Thanks
