I have an old but decent system with a dying graphics card, so I wanted to refresh the video component.
My specs are:
Pentium 4 670 64-bit 3.8GHz (one of Intel's last Pentiums, comparable to core 2 duo)
HIS Radeon 6670 1GB
HP DC7100CMT mobo
4GB RAM
Antec VP450 watt PSU
I have scourged the web to find an answer, but all advice points to a new system. The thing is, even though my specs are low, my P4 has NOT bottlenecked my GPU; I was getting equivalent benchmarks in my system compared to newer computer with the same card. Until recently, that is.
I've really disliked the quality of AMD cards, and I'm considering NVidia as an alternate.
What is a good card to upgrade to? I understand diminishing returns, but I'm unable to buy a new system. Any advice is appreciated!
EDIT: Also, I am willing to spend around $120.
