Hi:
Thinking of upgrading my 275 GTX SLI for a single 580 GTX and would like to know if I might have major bottleneck issues if I do get the 580 GTX given my older hardware. Playing on 27inch with 1920 x 1080 native resolution.
Specs:
Core 2 Extreme QX 6700 3.0 ghz OC'd 3.2 ghz
275 GTX SLI 896 mb <------upgrade to 580 gtx?
8 gig Patriot Ram G-Series DDR2
Geforece 680i motherboard
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Couple of questions:
1) Would my CPU bottleneck the 580 gtx?
2) Can I expect an performance increase that would warrant a $499 price tag
3) Do you have any suggestions on other gpus? Maybe SLI two 570s?
I guess the goal is to extend the life of my computer without spending money on brand new system and to max BF3 of course
