• Upgrading GPU
    11 replies, posted
So, I'm thinking about upgrading my GPU from 5850 when BF3 comes out. I don't have any set budget, but it would be good to keep the price under 500€. I was going to wait for the next GPUs to be released, but what the hell, might as well upgrade now rather than waiting 6 months.
I've heard the GTX 570 is a good card to go with, anything over that and it's an overkill(most likely).
Someone recommended Asus GTX 580 Direct Cu II for 450€, is that an overkill?

Give this a try [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1280mb-evga-gtx-570-hd-superclocked-40nm-3900mhz-gddr5-gpu-797mhz-shader-1594mhz-480-cores-plusfree-[/url] I realize that it is factory "super-clocked", but since it appears to be cheaper than a normal clocked one, then why not.

You should get one of these: [url]http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102927[/url] You should be able to play BF3 on ultra if you do.

I have one and it maxes Crysis 2 with DX11.

Also, I guess while I'm at it I should ask- I have an AMD 2, 2+, 3 supported mobo and I'm running a Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition 3.2Ghz Deneb 95w processor. I'm looking to upgrade in the future, but is there anything out by AMD that would be a good investment? I'm not really able to spend immense amounts of money at the moment. I would just love to not have to purchase a new motherboard anytime soon.
