Currently thinking about upgrades so as I can pass my bits down to my son for his 1st pc.
Im Currently running:
Q6600
IP35 Pro
4gb Ram
Geforce GTX 280
Dell S2409
Now im going upgrade to an i7 920 & 6gb but my dilemma is the GFX. My son will be using my old skool Dell 2007FPW so res's of 1680 x 1050.
Shall I pass him down my GTX 280 and replace it with a 57xx or even a 58xx for myself, ive had trouble with the card when overclocking my system in the past, although settings will be stock for my son's pc.
Do the 57xx's & 58xx's offer that much improvements over the 280 at the 1680 res's?
Help needed please
