Typically, I'm not the one to ask these types of questions, I usually go get all of the information myself, however, on this one, I'll defer to the expertise here.
My situation : I have a 9800 GX2 which performs ok, however, it's terrible for microstutter , additionally, it's also somewhat unstable in some games... So, I need a video card upgrade suggestion.
Budget, $350-$450.
Resolution : 1920X1200
Rig: Core i7 920 @ 4.0 Ghz, 6 GB TC DDR 1600, etc.
I'd prefer to go single card but will go dual GPU. I've been looking @ both the 4850x2 (cat drivers scare me a bit) and the GTX 280-285 or, should I be looking @ a 4870x2? or lastly, should I wait until April?
The prospect of DX11 doesn't really scare me off from upgrading, etc. I'm in the market now.
Any help would be appreciated.
