OK, as I have a bit of time on my hands, I fancy doing a bit of FPS gaming.
Currently, my system's running:
- Q6600 running at 3GHz
- HP 2475w monitor running at 1920x1200 (have Dell 2001FP 1600x1200 secondary mon in extended desktop)
- nvidia 8800gt or ATI X800 FireGL workstation GPU
my guess is that the CPU should be fine and I don't plan on changing the monitor and running at higher resolutions in the near future.
Budget isn't a big problem, but I'm not a frequent gamer so don't want to spend money on a GPU that has high power consumption at idle and chuck out lots of heat.
Reading up the various threads on the topic, seems the GTX560 or 6850/6870 are good bang for bucks.
I have no allegeance to nvidia or amd/ati and can't be bothered to figure out which games run better on which gpu to help make my decision
Thoughts?
