Currently have £300+ burning a hole in my pocket, was looking at the 7970 vtx twin fan card when on offer and the kfa2 670 oc. Or should i carry on saving and wait for the new consoles to arrive and see what both sides have to offer then ? 5870 is still holding out ok at my res and the games i am currently playing. Just like new shinny stuff every now and then, hard to resist.
 
Don't have bucket loads of cash. So will keep adding to it if newer tech is coming soon. When is 680 big brother due? And will there be cut down versions to ?
 
If there is nothing more taxing than BF3 then yes. keep saving and do a full system upgrade. Unless gpu dies.BF3 plays fine on high at my res.Thought next gen consoles would be out by 2013 at least, or are the big two going to let the wii u have a full yrs lead ?
 
Had thought of that xfire 5870 but wont the 1 gig of vram be a problem ? Also xfire 5870 is only equal to a 670gtx isn't it?
Also don't have access to members market.
 
How do i know when i'm vram limited if that's not being stupid ?
New major card release is what September, october ?
 
Upgrade itch not going away, i wonder if i have a big enough tube of thermal paste to rub on it until October otherwise i might just have to scratch it with a nice new 670gtx. OCUK sell too many things for my affliction and all cost lots of money.
