My system:
Mobo: ASUS P5KC 775 LGA (Max Memory 8gb for ddr2 and 4gb for ddr3)
CPU: Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4
Memory: DDR2 4096Mhz (4x1024Mhz) run at 400MHZ
GPU: Geforce gts 250 1gb
PSU: Apevia 500W
Hd: 2x western digital 500gb 7200rpm
Gaming: I play on 1680x1050 res. on a LED screen.
Other: I got Nvision 3D ready, but lag too much to actually use it =b
< i know my rig is old >
< sry for my english im german english is my 4th language>
My goal is to spend as less cash (how obvious) as possible to get some nice performance in the games ill be playing or am playing right now. Determine if theres an obvious bottleneck or any other issues.
I got around 200-300$ to spend on upgrading my pc.
In the near future my goal is to get or save tog et a i7 pc with a nice mobo and RAM, but for now 200-300$ is all i got so spending in a GPU that i can use later on my new rig is the best way to go, in my opinion
Im currently playing alot of Battlefield 3, Batman Arkham City and i may be playing Guild wars 2 and some other high end games out there. I dont expect to run them in ultra but ive seen youtube videos and benchamrks to know that theres some GPU's out there that can ultra BF3, like: gtx 460, gtx 550 and 550ti, gtx 560 and obviously all other in top of them. Since thsoe are in the 200$ range its very affordable for me.
I can max Batman just fine without the "Hardware Accelerated Physx" theres some cluttering when i go 3D tho.
Battlefield runs smooth on low/medium with very low shadows. And im only able to run this smooth in 1440x900, my native screen is 1680x1050 but thats jsut too much for my gts 250.
My idea was to get a gtx 460, 550ti or gtx 560 and spend also in 4gb DDR3 memory.
Let me know wut u think, id really like a more professional view on this matter =D.
