Ok, so right now, i have an EVGA gtx 460 768mb and im going to be selling it(no issues with it, just feel like an upgrade, probably for around $100).
These are the cards i am considering(no more than $200):
New Hd 5870 reference (or used XFX with double lifetime warranty):$190 Future:maybe cf
Hd 6870:$180 Future:maybe cf
Gtx 560:ehhh maybe
HD 6850 CFi would switch out my gtx 460 with my friends hd 6850, then buy a second one. so this option would cost me $150, over the $80-$90 with the cards above)
My specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 OC 3.8 ghz
MSI 790gx-65 (8x8 cf) motherboard
8gb Gskill ripjaw 1600mhz RAM
2 x 1tb samsung f3 7200rpm 32mb cache
700w FSP Aurum Gold rated power supply
Cooler Master Gemini II Cpu Cooler
Antec Skeleton Case
Asus 21.5" 1080p monitor(main)
Generic Dell 17" 1280x1024 monitor(secondary)
since my $$$ situation has changed since my last post about a week ago where i planned to get a hd 6950...im looking for some insight. ive been told dont go cf dont go cf dont go cf...but its really tempting! any ideas?
