Gents:
I am considering a HW vidcard upgrade to a legacy AMD965 / 790fx-gd70 / UBUNTU system. This system does everything , but game. Of-course the main question is one of value and improved performance, though currancy & reliability may be issues.
Reading reviews, the high-value vidcard champ seems now to be the NV_660 (I'll exclude ATI) . It would be replacing a loyal, but aging 5-yo BFG-9800gtx+ which can manage only 2-fr/sec in UNIGINE-HEAVEN on a 1920x1200 screen.
A new EVGA_650x2G gives me 10-fr/sec on my Xeon 2560x1440 workstation. Upgrading vidcards may I expect analogous improvement in the older AMD system?
