Hey guys!
So I'm wanting to upgrade my graphics card, as I've recently upgraded my CPU and RAM. Here are my current specs:
CPU: I5 200k
Mobo: ECS P67H2-A3
RAM: 2x2Gb Corsair 1600Mhz
GPU: nVidia geForce 9800Gtx+ 512mb
PSU: Huntkey 600W
I'm looking to buy a sub R3000.00 card in the next few months. Here's the catch though: I've only really been looking at the new radeon cards, as they have plenty to offer in my range. I read in a mag though that there's a significant decrease in performance when you use radeon cards with an intel setup. How significant is this performance dip, if there is any? Thanks in advance!
