Moti Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 That route will help. But the your foundation will never hold up at the rate video cards are progressing. For example to reach the maximum potential of a 5970... you have to have a i7 overclocked to around 3.8 ghz.. Also in the stuff that silvia mentioned, I would add a solid power supply.

Moti Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) Dude you are making such a bad decision. Go with the 5870. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking Edited November 26, 2009 by Moti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S15_Silvia Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) Core i9 looks promising for that. And the GTX 285 isn't a terrible decision. DX11 is coming out, but the first DX10 card came out in 2006 and look how long it took for that to take hold. Nvidia's drivers will always trump the Catalyst software. Really though it comes down to preference. I've always liked Nvidia but Ati is tempting me with the 5000 series. There's a little more game support for Nvidia too, but that's not a really large factor anymore. Overclocking is taking stock hardware and configuring it to run at a higher frequency than it did when it left the factory. For example, my CPU was 3.16GHz stock, but through some tweaks in the motherboard's BIOS (built-in settings 'menu' on the motherboard, if you will) I was able to get it to 4.13GHz and I'm not done yet.

Moti Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 It does but expect it be around 1k or more... I hope they will die shrink current i7 parts for people like myself that can't afford it. There have been some benchmarks posted and many site are saying that quad cores are better for gaming. The same argument that is held today for dual vs quad... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moti Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I'd rather spend the extra 40 dollars and get a better card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S15_Silvia Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Yep...first time I tried I got many bluescreens. It's all about feeding the processor (and memory if you're going extreme) enough voltage. But yeah I would go with the 5850 in your case. 5870 if you really wanted, but the 5850 will do work.

S15_Silvia Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) Newegg.com is a great place to get computer parts. Link to 5850s on Newegg (yes they are all sold out right now but it's a popular card) Edited November 26, 2009 by S15_Silvia Quote 2016 Subaru BRZ | Sony XAV-AX100 | Rockford Fosgate DSM 4080 & DSM 40ix | On 6/6/2012 at 6:32 PM, 'LZTYBRN' said: 3.
