Hi I got a free PNY Verto FX 5950 Ultra 256mb and I'm wondering what I should do with it? Currently I have:
Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 128mb
512 MB RAM
Intel 3.0 GHZ with HT technology
450 watt PS
I'm just wondering how much of a good gaming experience the 5950 will get me and I'm planning on purchasing Doom 3 and HL2. I've only really been playing CS (for 4 years) and that doesn't require much but now with these new game releases they are requiring alot from the graphics card. I don't want a decent gaming experience I want a great one.
I don't know how much It'd be worth it to sell the 5950 for as much as possible and get a 6800Gt .. ? Or would it be of better benifeit for me to get a 6800u? I also have been considering selling my cpu and buying a better one (AMD 64 FX-53 with 1+Gig of ram) or maybe just giving it to my brother.
I'm just looking for some opinoins on what I should do/get. Thanks.
