I recently tried my HD4870 1GB in my HTPC and was impressed by the gaming performance, although now... I want more!
If I bought a GTX460 or HD6850, would I get much of an FPS improvement over the HD4870, or would my CPU bottleneck any theoretical improvement? I have an AMD Athlon II X2 245 overclocked to 3.5GHz.
I would like to play games such as Dirt2 at 1080p with high settings, and am currently getting ~40 FPS with the HD4870. I would really like closer to 60FPS
