Hey guys,
Since one of my 5850s broke down, i have been using one to game. So far not exactly a huge step down but benchmark scores have been halved. Crysis 2 cannot run at a playable frame rate with hi-res textures. BF3 still runs on ultra but i can see chugging in multiplayer more than before. Max payne 3 slows down during a lot of on-screen activity. My question is, do i really need to upgrade?
If so, which gpu would give me the best upgrade? 670 or 7970? or any other for that matter. I really do not want to spend much but if i know for sure that performance upgrade is worthwhile then i would consider forking out over £300.
I game at 1080p. The rest of specs are in sig.
Cheers.
