Hey Guys,
Right now I have a Dell XPS Studio 9000 with the following specs:
Intel i7 920 - 2.67 ghz
9 GB RAM
ATI Radeon 5450 1 GB (Really Bad Card)
475 PSU.
Windows 7 64-bit
I'm not a super enthusiast gamer. I like playing games like cs:s, mw2, bfbc2, and starcraft 2.
Right now I'm looking at the ati radeon 5770 as the best bang for my buck, but are there any other better alternatives from Nvidia? And can the 5770 perform well with my system specs to play games at high settings?
And my other question is, do I have the following steps correct for upgrading my graphics card?
1. Uninstall current graphics card drivers with Drivercleaner
2. Remove graphics card
3. Put in new graphics card and plug in 6 pin power connector
4. Install new graphics card drivers from CD
Thanks!
