Sapphire 6570

Hello,i have geforce 7600gs on intel dual core, 3gb ram, will Sapphire 6570 "upgrade" my gaming experience?

6570 will be a lot better than your current 7600GS. you can look here for GPU comparison. it does not have exact benchmark between the two but you can get the rough idea:

benchmark on 6570 and 6670:

maybe because i have intel motherboard and cpu, it may be better to buy an nvidia card?

oh, and btw i have this cpu: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E6400
and this motherboard: Intel® Lemont DP965LT

don't worry about that. you can use nvidia or AMD Radeon with intel cpu. the same goes for AMD. cpu selection will not going to restrict which gpu you can use. something like 'AMD cpu is best paired with AMD graphic card' (much like intel cpu to be paired with nvidia card) is plain wrong

thnx alot! and how about the mobo and cpu i posted? are they gonna work fine with the new ATI card?

 

[renz496]

they should work just fine

 

[fanara]

ok, thnx again!

guys, do my Intel® Lemont DP965LT motherboard support any other CPU than dual core? if so, what do you suggest me to buy? (around 100-200$ max)

you can see list of supported cpu for your mobo here:

however i think it is much better if you go for better platform instead of upgrading your current processor. better performance and it will last you longer since the processor are much more efficient and faster in clock for clock compared to any LGA775 proc available.
