| Upgrade Question: Nvidia 8800GTS vs GTX460
Thinking of upgrading my Video Card.
Sys info:
Intel C2D 6700 oc'ed @ 3.6Ghz
4GB Ram
Currently, I have an old Nvidia 8800GTS 320MB GDDR3
Its been serving me very very wellllll in the past 3 years till now.
Until SC2, I cant max out the setting.
So, I m thinking of Upgrade my Video Card.
Just wondering, If I upgrade to Nvidia GTX460 1GB GDDR5
Will this make big difference ?

That's like asking if you'd see any performance difference going from a p4 to an i7.

i have a similar setup,
just wondering, do i need to upgrade my CPU in order to get maximum performance off the Nvidia 460 / ATI 5850 video cards? or the E6700 is enough already?

hmm.. jacking your thread.. xD
ASUS Radeon HD 5770 Cu Core 1Gb DDR5 PCI-E
would my phenom II x2 550 be enough to use this video card at its full potential?
also, what about the radeon 5830?
I'm debating whether i should buy the 5770 now or wait for the 5830 to go cheaper next year.
