current system is:
CPU
Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 @ 1.86GHz
Conroe 65nm Technology
RAM
4.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz (5-5-5-18)
Motherboard
ASUSTeK Computer INC. P5K (LGA775)
Graphics
SyncMaster (1680x1050@60Hz)
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (ATI)
PSU FSP Bluestorm II 500W (<<now with added power!)
samsung 2232BW monitor.
Just wondering which graphics card to update it to, to make it last another year to 18 months.
either the AMD HD6670 or the HD6570 ?
the computers used at the moment about 6hours a week for gaming, things like COD2, crysis, black ops. hes planning on getting duke nukem, maybe RAGE aswell.
hes quite happy playing on the current system, but the graphics is running about 60C idle, up to 85C or so under load and you do notice the odd bit of corruption/slowdown in various games and it is quite toasty in here (im using it to type this), so were thinking the current card has maybe got a bit worn out, had it since about early 2007 i think.
just wondering what the collective thoughts of the hexites were, 6570 or the 6670. looking to spend no more than £80 if we can help it, but he cheaper the better.
will either of those cards work in the motherboard, with them not being the same PCI-E type? 1 v 2.1 ?
other suggestions welcome if they wont, but if they do, which one of the above?
