Specs :
Motherboard - Asus P5L-VM 1394 775 Socket
CPU - Pentium D 950 (Going to upgrade as soon as I get a response to my CPU thread ; E6700 or E6750)
Current GPU - NVidia GeForce 8600GT 512MB DDR2
Ram - 4 X 1GB DDR2
PSU - CoolerMaster GX 450W (540 peak) 80% Effeciency
OS - Windows XP 32bit

I'd prefer to go with an ATI (Never had any problems with 'em. NVidia, on the otherhand..), but will take an NVidia if it will last a few years and handle me stuff.
I use Autodesk Maya for 3D modelling, so a card that can do alright with that peice o' software would be great, I also want to get as high-and-smooth FPS possible for games like Skyrim. Was tempted to get an Ati 5670 or the 6850, but I have come to get a verdict first.
(Also, if it outputs to DVI, that'd be nice. It's not needed, but I'd rather not buy adapters for my monitors unless the card performs superb-ly)

Much obliged.
 
With D 950 you can't upgrade anything 8600GT is I think the most. And with E6700 you probably get 6770 for max. As bottlenecking issues will occur if you upgrade anything to 6790 or above, or 550Ti or above.
 
Then why are you telling me about 6850? If you want 5670, I recommend 6670 instead of it. And if you ask how much better 6770 is compared to a 5670, I think you can say about from 50%-75% But I'm not really sure about this so correct me if I am wrong.
