I'll be ditching my old and crappy 19" that has only a poor mans VGA connection for a shiny new Benq G2420HD 24" (1920x1080, dvi-d and response time up to 2 ms) that a cool co-worker is going to get me for just 50 bucks (astounding price for a monitor like that, but it's just because he got contacts at some retailer).
So, giving my current build:
PhenomII 1100t
Asrock deluxe3 mobo (890FX chipset)
8GB hyperx DDR3 1600
GTX 480 (gigabyte)
Will I be able to run BF3 smoothly at that new resolution? I currently play it on Ultra with pretty decent FPS (manage to get around steady 80-90 with a bit OC) I guess it'll drop around 60 which is still acceptable to my eyes.
Should I get the 670?
I'm also planning on getting an SSD to replace my mechanical seagate. Is it good for gaming? I don't mind longer load times etc, just overall gaming performance.
Please, don't tell me to get an intel because i don't want to buy a new cpu/mobo yet.
Well I don't know how much Vram your graphiccard has. But If your playing BF3 now arround 90 FPS it will be no problem.
Don't buy a 670. (buy a new Radeon card) then the CPU and the GPU will work together. What will result in more performance. Don't know the name of this technologie right now.
A SSD will load faster. But I think you will not see any difference with gaming. (not with this set-up)
Should be fine. But yeah, check out how much video ram you have otherwise there might be some performance issues.
Video card will be fine, I might switch some things to high from ultra. But the GTX480 has as much video ram as a normal GTX580, 1.5GB of GDDR5.
Actually my card has 2 gb of DDR5 vram
So, SSD's as they are right now won't improve that much huh?
Maybe it'll be better to pair a radeon with my amd cpu, any conclusions about this?
