Hi there. I'm looking to upgrade my video card, but first I wanted some advice, and to make sure the card I pick is compatible with my system. Basically, I'm going for a bang-for-the-buck card, but I still want a significant upgrade without causing a bottleneck. I also wouldn't mind doing a modest overclock. Here are my specs:
Processor - Intel Quad-Core 2.4GHz
Video Card - EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 640MB (slightly OCed to 608mhz core, 924 mhz RAM. I would do more but this card seems to have a hard upper limit)
Motherboard - MSI P6N SLI Platinum NVIDIA nForce 650i
RAM - 3GB DDR2 SDRAM
Power Supply - 650W
OS - XP 32bit
I've been using this list here to get an idea of what to get: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-6950-1gb-geforce-gtx-560-ti-gaming-graphics-card,2857.html
And I've also been looking over at newegg. Any advice is appreciated.
