Hiyooo!!!
Would it be good to upgrade my current GPU, which is a EVGA 8800GTX to something more powerful? I am wondering how much more performance I will get out of upgrading to a 580GTX would be with my system now until I can upgrade my whole system later when Ivy Bridge comes out. Should I wait until the new line of NVidia cards come out or get one now with my system. Most likely my CPU will be the bottleneck... but I am thinking it will be a GREAT upgrade from my puny 8800GTX. I used to have 2 GTX in SLI... so thats why I got the 680i. Would a cheaper card do better as well? I am seeing even the 430GT as more RAM but less stream processors than the 8800GTX...
System:
EVGA 680i
e6750 2.6GHz no OC
4GB OCZ 1333 RAM
8800GTX
Win 7 Ult
1920 x 1200 (NEC 24")
I like to play games at max settings!!
What do you guys think?
