infiltrator_2k 29 Posted September 15, 2010 I've just looked at some benchmark results for various top-end graphics cards & I have to say, well, upgrading from my HD 4870x2 will never be worth it, as it seems I'd only gain a few FPS @ 1920x1200 maxxed out - but then again if you look at benchmarks from different websites they vary hugely. :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

infiltrator_2k 29 Posted September 15, 2010 Well, i'm very happy with the performance of my HD 4870x2, no FPS trouble at all, only some overheating / BSOD sometimes. I'm fortunate to have a Antec 900 case which is excellent for cooling as it has outstanding airflow, so I've not really suffered from heat problems - I do however find that manually setting the fan via the CCC console helps keep it cool, overwise the GPU creeps over the 80 degrees mark. Setting the fan at 35% seems to keep it @ 70 degrees when playing ARMA 2 - the rooms gets warm though :D But yeah, I'm also more than happy with the performance of the HD 4870x2 :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laqueesha 474 Posted September 15, 2010 The highest I can upgrade is an NVIDIA GTS 250 (Which I have installed currently.) Any higher and I would need a new power supply. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enad 11 Posted September 16, 2010 My 4870x2 didnt handle OA very well at 2048x1152. I just upgraded to GTX 480 and let me tell you it was a huge improvement!! Seriously, Upgrade to the GTX 480 or 470. It will do wonders! OA seems to be really fucked up with Dual GPU's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boneboys 0 Posted September 16, 2010 I went from a 8800gt to a 460gtx and I'm not disappointed in the least. Saying that, I have to admit that the 8800gt was probably the best investment that I have made as far as GPU's are concerned. E8400 dc2x/ XP:32/W7:64/ 3go.ram XFi gamer, 22"W/S, Oh, and a TrackIR5.

VanhA-ICON 11 Posted September 17, 2010 It's funny but I still have 8800GTS by EVGA and I have no need for a new card. Of course I can't run the game with highest settings but good enuff to keep me happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
