New card question

Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Share

So I currently have a nearly 4 year old 4870 1gb that I use in my system. I have been thinking about getting a new card but am not sure as to whether I will see a marked improvement in performance. The 4870 is OC'd to 850mhz core and 1050mhz for the memory. Its runs stable and never exceeds 60*. I see that some of the current 6970's have a clock speed anywhere from 800-850mhz for the core and the memory is slightly higher at about 1200-1300mhz. With these specs being so similar to my current card, is it really going to make that much of a difference if they were both 1 gb?

Note that you can't judge cards by memory size (video memory (VRAM) size) or clocks.

Also the 6970's has got 2GB :) .

Now instead of looking at the VRAM or the clocks, we look at the GPU, which is the 6970, and will be much faster than 4870.
