As the title states.. I'm ready to upgrade my video card from my sig rig.
I've been eyeing the 5850 and I see they are finally available @ TD right now. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger.. but have to wonder.. am I going after the right card or is a 5770 better suited for my rig. looking for 2 more years on this build.. the video card is a mid cycle upgrade on this 2007 rig.
notes:
I do not plan to crossfire.
I game @ 1280x1024 currently but wouldn't mind going up to a 19" widescreen and gaming at 1440x900
I play mostly CoD:WaW.. plan on moving to BF: BC2 when it releases next year
I am working towards overclocking my q6600 to 3.0ghz and hopefully 3.2ghz soon. I really need to redo my wiring and clean the dust from my case. Possibly turn up my case fans as well.
on my current minor overclock I ran prime95 blend for 9 hours (overnight) with no errors and peak temp @ 64c on any core (really only the 1st core.. the others were around 62/61 or so)
