Hi Folks,
Time for a new graphics card, my 5770 is wheezing when I play Far Cry 3.
My spec:
Case
ANTEC NINE HUNDRED TWO - UK, The Ultimate Gaming Case, Evolved
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-950 (3.06GHz) 4.8GTs/8MB Cache
Motherboard
ASUS® P6X58D-E: DDR3, USB 3.0, SATA 6.0GB/s, 3-Way SLI
Memory (RAM)
6GB KINGSTON HYPER-X TRI-DDR3 1600MHz, X.M.P (3 x 2GB KIT)
Graphics Card
1GB ATI RADEON™ HD 5770 PCI EXPRESS - DirectX® 11
Hard Disk
640GB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD6402AAEX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (7200rpm)
Power Supply
CORSAIR 650W TX SERIES (TX650) 80+ ULTRA QUIET PSU
I would like to understand if my above rig is fully compatible with:
Geforce GTX 660 Ti
Geforce GTX 670
Radeon 7950
Will I have any performance issues?
Where will the performance bottle-neck be if I get one of these cards?
Do I have sufficient power to run them?
Can I run them without extra cooling requirements?
Which of the above three cards is "best"?
Is there any practical difference between Asus / PNY / EVGA / etc etc, and if so which should I go for?
Is there anything I haven't asked/considered that I should have done?
Thank you all very much!
