I been out of it a while and need a bit of advice on a card upgrade. I currently have a Q6600 system running an ATI 4890. First off I assume my rig will run one of these newer beasts, i have a 650 power supply? Im looking to play games on 1900 x 1200 res
Im looking for a single card solution, not into SLI or CF at all, I am willing to pay a lot as I deprived myself of playing games for a while now, so my price range will be around £500 ($750). I get the impression ATI have run away with things a bit but Im very confused as to what the best single card solution for me is. The 5970 option sounds interesting but i hear its overkill or a waste of money plus some games dont support it properly, then people tell me the new Nvidia cards dont perform as well as ATI. So im not really sure what i should be looking at.
Would i be right in saying ATIs best single chip solution is the 5870? Do the Nvidia cards match up to this and does the physx make them a better choice? Excuse my ignorance, its just so much to take in and im looking to sort something out within a week or so and i know you guys know what your talking about. Thank for any pointers
