Selecting new gpu

[dom8111]

well i have a http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1762/1/ and before the latest starcraft 2 update i was able to stream and get like 60+fps all the time (even in big battles) well now with the update in some parts of the game i get below 20 fps so i figured it was the graphics card considering i could run everything fine. so im thinking about buying the

will this solve my problem and could this run in my computer (im just worried because right now i have and amd graphics card and this is a nvidia

also before connecting the card to the mobo would i have to delete the amd catalyst engine control center?

There could be a different issue than it being your video card why you would all of the sudden lose alot of performance. but if you are looking for an excuse to buy another video card then the card you picked out would work fine in your system no problem...and yea you would remove the old amd drivers first before installing the new card.
also I would go with this card if I were you

a little bit more but worth it

also i want this card to work i see some people on the newegg reviews saying it dies within a month so im kind of scared to buy it now

take the newegg reviews with a grain of salt....realize that there were probably thousands of happy customers who card did not die but did not leave a review...also the card has a newegg return policy (30 days) and a 2 year warranty from sapphire but if that is not enough to convince you here is a diff 6850

also a good card

has a lifetime warranty

see the only reason im caring is because a while ago it happened to me when i bought the 460 it broke and i just dont want that to happen ( withion the first month)

im also starting to look at the 7750 because really i dont want to gewt a card tha will be outdated soon just because i didnt want to delete the control engine som im fine with a 7000 series even a nvidia but id prefer a amd

 

[drums101]

a 7750 is a much slower card and would become "outdated" sooner than the 6850
