Maximize computer performance

[Gate9er]

Hi guys

I have a pc with the following specs:

Intel Motherboard DX58S0
Quad Core i7 920 - 3.3Ghz (overclocked)
16GB RAM Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Blu 1600MHz
GTX260 in SLI config
ITB Seagate HD

How can I have my pc to give me maximum performance on gaming?? Any suggestions??

What exactly do you want to accomplish? For what you've got its already performing at its maximum capacity. What games do you play and are you getting acceptable performance now? If not, what level of performance do you want in those games?

The maximum performance in games you will have if change the video cards. They are old technology now.
Buy a Nvidia 570 , AMD 6970. If you have a bigger budget then go with Nvidia 580 or AMD 7950,7970.

Well I play action games like L.A. Noire and FPS like Battlefield 3 etc. It seems that I don't get maximum performance out of my pc

Any of those video cards what i recommended you will be fine. Depends on your budget. Ill recomend you 7950 , take a look http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600286767%20600286739&IsNodeId=1&name=Radeon%20HD%207950

Well the issue is that my system only supports DDR3 memory, while these cards are running in DDR5. I know that this would not be a problem as a DDR5 card will still work but it won't be able to reach speeds higher than DDR3. Is it though worth wasting so much on a card that I will not be able to get max performance out of it?

 

[sosofm]

That is not true. Your DDR3 what your motherboard support don't have nothing to do with the DDR5 from video card.

 

[Gate9er]

So the card will still run in DDR5 speeds?

 

[zhihao50]

yep, not that it matters much in terms of gaming performance

 

[sosofm]

Yes the card can run even DDR10 if exist doesn't have nothing to do with the memory from your motherboard. That is the memory from the video card.

 

[Gate9er]

Ok. So one GTX570 or 580 is better than two GTX260?

If you are asking for the gaming performance? Buy the latest high end Video Card.

Buy a 7950 is much better than 580 SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-bit http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102962

I would really love to buy on of those pieces but the price is prohibitive

 

[sosofm]

What is your budget ?

 

[aqe040466]

I would really love to buy on of those pieces but the price is prohibitive

Then I would recommend this newly released AMD HD 7770
