Hi all,
I'm rather behind the curve on tech at the moment. Having had two children over the last 6 years, my funds have been diverted elsewhere (with the exception of the odd SSD now and again).
I may be able to get a new component shortly, and I'm thinking GPU.
At the moment, I have an Abit IP35 Pro XE with an Intel Q8200 in it. I've moderately OC'd it. It runs things well, and I'm fairly happy with that: it's quite zippy.
My GPU is a BFG 8800GT OC 512 mb, and my PSU is a Corsair Modular 620W. I have a 19 inch monitor, but my wife's getting me a 21 inch widescreen display for xmas.
Say I was about to spend £100 - £140 on a GPU: with most of the offerings out there at the moment, woudl I notice much difference, and would my PSU cope?
and would it be worthwhile, or would anything less than an I3 be a bottleneck anyway?
THanks
Rob
Edit: Oh, you're going to ask about usage, aren't you? Arkham city, Crysis (original), I'm thinking of getting Dishonored, Dawn Of War 2 (Not terribly demanding, I know), UT3, Bioshock 2, etc.
