My current Configuration is
Processor: Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8 Ghz
Mother Board: Gigabyte EG45-UD2H
Memory:2 GB
HDD: 500 GB 7200rpm
Monitor: 18.5 at 1368x768 resolution
Graphics Chip: Intel X4500HD
PSU: Standard 400 watt
Pci-Express 2.0 capable
I bought this pc three years ago was able to play crysis, far cry 2 and many other games both at playable frame rates and with a satisfactory quality because of my monitors resolution.
Now i am thinking to buy a gtx 550ti or a hd6790
which one is better, for my resolution. and i saw that crossfire or sli increases the performance to a great level. is that true.
now i think as gtx 550ti has cuda and some other technologies it seems better. on the other hand hd6790 has more memory bandwidth. so which one is better for gaming, if i enable msaa, supersampling, aaa , fxaa . i know tessellation is a option but i am not sure if those card can handle that in my resolution.
i was actually planning to buy gtx560 ti. but everyone here said me that will be a serious overkill because my cpu will bottle neck it. so they suggested me to buy a new cpu and mobo. i said to them i want to wait for ivy bridge mid level cpu's like core i5 2500k. but to something like that to come will take at least two years if we compare it with sandy bridge. until that time i need a gpu.
now please tell me which card will be the best for gaming. many say nvidia cards do better job in games as many games are sponsored by them. is that true?
and i will buy some memory and a good psu so you do not need to think about those.
So please say which one is the best. if you have another card in mind just name it.
i know how helpful you guys are so thanks in advance.
