Hi folks,
I was wondering if anyone could have a look and advise me what my next step should be in my upgrade process..
Currently I have a XFX GeForce 8800 GTS card looking to upgrade to a XFX HD 4870 775M 1GB DDR5 DUAL DVI TV PCI-E XXX.
Details of my current card are as follows:
Dual Link DVI - Supporting digital output up to 2560x1600
DUAL Memory Clock: 1.6 GHz
Clock rate: 500 MHz
Chipset: GeForce 8800 GTS
Memory: 640 MB
Bus Type: PCI-E
Memory Type: DDR3
Memory Bus: 320 bit
Highlighted Features: RoHS , Dual DVI Out , TV Out , HDTV ready , HDCP Ready , SLI ready
The new cards details as follows:
CHIPSET: HD 4870
BUS TYPE: PCI-E
CLOCK RATE: 775MHZ
MEMORY BUS: 256BIT
MEMORY TYPE: DDR5
MEMORY SIZE: 1GB
MEMORY CLOCK: 3.8GHZ

My current mobo is a ASUS M2Ne-SLi one with 4gb Corsair DDR2 800mhz memory installed. Running Windows 7 64bit at the mo with a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+
My question is this... is it worth my while upgrading the GFX card or should i be upgrading something else first?
