My setup:

Main: Asus P7P55D-E PRO
GPU: 5850
CPU: i5 750 @3ghz
PSU: Thermaltake toughpower 850W
SSD: ocz agility 3
Ram: 2x2GB 7-7-7-20


So, no doubt that a GTX 670 will give me some more performance.
But will my old rig be to much of a bottleneck, for the GTX 670 to reach around 80-90% of its potential?

After looking at the charts, the 670 performs around 50% better than the 5850. Of course these scores are reached with the optimum parts at the time of the test. Not to be compared with my old rig.


What do you think? Will the 670 be held back to much to be worth my money?


ps, its for 1920x1080 gaming. Mainly BF3
