I'm looking to play the latest round of FPS's with the computer in my sig, but I was wondering if there's any cheap upgrades I could make to increase framerates? Cheaper the better

Cheers!

4850

above 120

4870

gtx260 216 core*

4870x2*
* cpu will most likely bottleneck the card

I have the AC Freezer Pro installed, but I couldn't get it stable past 2.4

Although I dont think I was doing it right cos I couldnt get anything stable when manually changing settings. I only got to 2.4 through the auto-overclock thing in the bios.

Also recommend you upgrade GFX to 4850

Running mine on a 4800+ 2.5GHz rig @ 1280 x 1024

2nd hand 3850 or 3870 would be cheapest.

else a brand new 4850
