To a gtx 470 or should I overclock my cpu and get a new cooler as I am getting choppyness while playing fallout new Vegas. My CPU is a amd quad core 630. Thanks for the advice.

I'd suggest a 6870, they're pumping out some good stuff.

5770 is plenty powerful for your system so I reckon the choppiness is down to something else.

Maybe overclock the CPU a bit see of that helps?

WOW that's some future proofing you're recommending one of those should last him half a decade at 1024x768

EDIT - Damn, you beat me to it there BW

 

[Scon]

ok, ok.

Maybe rethink that.

 

[MADEinSTOKE]

have you tried different video card drivers

That doesn't sound right, a 5770 should more then handle Fallout at that resolution. Is it stuttering? Could be a driver problem.
