I haven't been keeping up computer hardware for quite a longggg time.

First of all ~ here is my PC Spec.

C2D 6700 oc'ed @ 3.6ghz
4GB DDR2 8500
Nvidia 8800GTS


Now, I am thinking upgrading just the Video card to GTX560, or 570.
Just to be able to play some current games such as Witcher 2, Crysis 2...etc.

I will do a whole system upgrade after BF3 releases.



Question 1.
How much of a difference I would feel after V-Card upgrade ?

Question 2.
Would my C2D 6700 system be the bottle neck of this new V-card ?

1. night and day...google the benchmarks
2. yes

Even a gtx 460 would let you play any current game. And yes if you get a high end gpu it will get bottlenecked.
Also, make sure your case is big enough to fit large gpus.

holy shit I want to fucking rant right now so I'll just do it in this thread.

first angry post on new forums.

So I go to the NCIX warehouse sale http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj02IfE84ZY

I was actually 20th in line. I went after work. I got in, picked up a new 27inch monitor (asus ve led... 239). Asked the tech's to sell me a video card, they sell me a msi gtx 460 hawk or something for 119. I specifically asked if this video card could display 3 monitors. They said yes. came home plugged it in, later discovered that I need 2 of the same video cards to do this.
My mobo can't support 2 pci-e cards. So Now I need to get another video card, a new mobo and a new processor.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I don't really have much money to rhow around OMG BIG FUCKING SPIDER ON MY DESK

so now I have to go out and spend probably another 500 dollars. Matching the video card and a new mobo and CPU, and probably ANOTHER power Supply, and ANOTHER CASE.

Fuck this shit.
