Here are my current system spec, it's old....
Athlon X2 4400
Abit AV8 Motherboard
2GB DDR400
WD Raptor 74GB
Antec Neo 500w PSU
Sapphire X800XT PE
An entire system upgrade is out of the question, the person who controls my budget (my wife lol) won't go for it right now, maybe next year I can get away with an entire overhaul.
I was looking at the Sapphire AGP 3850 video card on newegg -
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814102730
It's $95 (plus tax and shipping so probably $115 total) and my question is, is this a worthwhile upgrade and can I expect better performance out of this card?
I only use a 22" monitor, so resolution never exceeds 1680x1050, and I don't play the latest shooters, I play BF2, X3:Reunion and Terran Conflict, Total War series, etc.
Thoughts?
