Get a 4850 or 5770 instead of a 9800.

Gunna be hard getting a decent upgrade... If i was you, your best option would be to SLi another 9800
[QUOTE=derlicious;22039364]Gunna be hard getting a decent upgrade... If i was you, your best option would be to SLi another 9800[/QUOTE] So basically the upgrades I picked are fine?
Urm wait. [editline]03:58PM[/editline] Can you go above 270? [editline]03:59PM[/editline] like 350 or 320 like in your build?
What 14+ thread. 3 of which ask if you should upgrade.
The problem is i think you should upgrade your motherboard + processor to AMD because it's cheap and performs well but if you want to get another 9800gtx then you have the budget to get a mobo + cpu but you would need ddr3 ram...

3 computers and 14+ threads just doesnt seem to go together.

Ok here we go :) [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133246[/url] GPU + [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.382195[/url] Mobo + CPU = 256.97 OR That GPU + [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.382197[/url] = 314.97 I know they aren't good motherboards but they support DDR2 and if you want to get a decent processor then you cant really afford new ddr3 4gb ram

That phenom is WAY better [editline]04:32PM[/editline] Wait ive got to check its sli capable [editline]04:32PM[/editline] Nope, just get the Athlon X4 deal with a 5770 instead of the 9800, or ask someone else for help

No [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131328[/url] This
[QUOTE=derlicious;22043294]No [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131328[/url] This[/QUOTE] This would only be for DX11, and the power of that card means that it will run shitty with it on. I'd get the 4870.
[QUOTE=tommyc225;22043403]This would only be for DX11, and the power of that card means that it will run shitty with it on. I'd get the 4870.[/QUOTE] uh what 5770 roughly= 4870 so you're paying $15 more for a card that performs the same and has fewer features sounds like a smart use of money
[QUOTE=reapaninja;22043547]uh what 5770 roughly= 4870 so you're paying $15 more for a card that performs the same and has fewer features sounds like a smart use of money[/QUOTE] I mean it would run shitty running DX11
I don't see how that means you should pay more for the same performance
[QUOTE=tommyc225;22043621]I mean it would run shitty running DX11[/QUOTE] And the 4870 wouldn't run DX11 at all.
The 4870 only get like +4FPS in crysis... Get the 5770.
Ah sorry, the 4870 is cheaper here in the UK
