I really want to upgrade to a better card, but I have a limited budget. I don't want to spend more than $200 ($100-$175) for a new card, but I want an upgrade that is actually worth it.
I want a card that I will see an actual difference in performance. I currently play BF:BC2 most of the time with other new games tossed in every now and then. I'd really like to stick with a 256-bit interface, I believe the performance gains are noticeable against 128-bit cards? I may be wrong, been awhile since I've done in-depth research.
Current rig:
Intel C2D E6550 @ 3.1Ghz
Gigabyte EP45-UD3R rev. 1.1
4GB DDR2 800 - out of a Dell (yuck!!)
2x 80GB WD Raptor (one for OS other for Games)
1x 1TB Storage Drive
eVGA 8800GTS 640MB (G80)
