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 ?

YES

Huge 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?

I believe if you OC your E6700 to 3.6~4Ghz should be able to max out GTX460

i went from the 8800 gts 640mb to evga gtx 460 1gb and easily notice how much better everything in the game looks. worth the upgrade

460 or 5830???

monumental difference, cpu should be 3.4ghz+ so theres no gpu/cpu bottleneck!

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.

keep your 8800gts to do phyx and 460 as your main video card?? if your mobo supports it...
