Can my gpu handle mw2/bc2?

[FiCtioN75]

Hi guys. Im playing CS:S atm and getting pretty good fps but i would really like to get one of either mw2 or bc2 however i want to ensure my graphics card will handle it ok on my resolution (1920x1200).

This is my setup:
Sapphire HD3870 1gb
Q9550 @ 3.2ghz (can easily push further if need be)
GA-X48-DS5
Corsair dominator 6GB 1066 ram

Any input would be awesome as im fingers crossed looking to make a decision on one of these games if i can play them.

Cheers.

there is 4 slots for ram on my mb and i have 2x1gb sticks and 2x2gb sticks. could you reccomend me a 5850 so i can start saving. also what do you rekon i could fetch for my gpu 30 quid? thanks for the feedback

Thanks for the info guys. My plan of action is going to be buy mw2 and save for a 5850 which will probs take me a few months but ive got a few bits and bobs i can sell and 2 old pcs that i can combine to make a half decent machine to sell. Also j/w whats the crack with the members market on here? is it 250 posts of 3 months or something? Thanks again.

A mate of a mate i selling a 4870 512mb and hes asking for £75.00 i think that may be a tad high but if i could get him to £55 would that be a decent solution/deal?

Ok thanks for the quick reply. Im just going to bite the bullet and save up for a 5850 then not have to worry about my setup for a while.

im going to get some software for checking gpu temps. ive only recently got into pcs and have been concentrating on overclocking and stablising my cpu havnt really batted an eye towards the gpu. thanks mana atleast now i know that i can run bc2 for the mean time if my gpu isnt a hot one! what are decent idle and load temps for graphics cards
