Hi guys. Here's my current system, fairly old but still gets the jobs fairly well these days:
SPECS:
AMD PHENOM 955 x2 3.2 stock @ 3.8ghz oc'd
MSI 560TI TWIN FROZR 1GB
ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard
650 corsair psu
8gb g.skill ripjaws
pretty old 500gb WD Hard drive
windows 7 64bit
24" Synaps LCD
So what I'm looking for is one of the 7950's of newegg.ca that are hover around the $200-215 range. I need help with brands, because I notice some come with 2 fans some don't. I have also heard some run quiet and some don't, I clearly want the quieter one. Also should I be getting a 7950 boost or a regular one?
Few questions/concerns:
1- will the current cpu not bottlekneck it too much?
2- am i looking to get some nice gains in fps with this card given that im replacing a relatively old 560ti?
3- tied in with number 2, im looking to get rid of stutters i have occur in crowded areas in Marvel Heroes, hoping this will be its fix, unless my old HD is causing the loads/stutters.
And also, I'll need one xfire compatible just in case I decide to go that route one time down the line.
