Hi everyone, I would consider myself a slightly higher than casual gamer. I've noticed that I need to run any of the more recent titles at pretty much the lowest graphics settings (Things like D3, Anno 2070, Mechwarrior Online etc.)
So i figure it must be time to upgrade. I was wondering if you could provide some input on what I should be upgrading. Is it just a matter of a sub-pay graphics card? I've been doing some reading and it seems like the VIDIA GeForce GTX 570 might be a good choice, and there was some AMD equivalent but the name escapes me. Is there a such thing as going overboard on a graphics card? Here's a list of my specs to get us started.
