Hi guys,
In the middle of planning a minor upgrade at the moment (new fans, new hdd's etc) and I'm contemplating upgrading my gpu's while I'm at it.
Currently running a pair of mildly clocked 3870's. Not got any massive performance issues with them as such, they could be a bit faster on newer games but it's the heat and noise that's getting to me.
I could stick on an aftermarket cooler (Vortexx?) or I could upgrade and flog them. If it's an upgrade the budget won't be a lot at all, probably <£100 assuming I can still get something back for the old cards.
Is it worth an upgrade to a single more powerful card at that price or just stick a new cooler on there and clock them till they cook?
