| Post subject: | Upgrade Time |
Looking to make an update or two to my two year-old computer. Where's the biggest bang for my buck with this rig? CPU? RAM? I'll also be upgrading to Windows 7 soon. Dell XPS 630I Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 2.83GHz Two NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT cards 4GB Kingston PC2-6400 DDR2 |

One of my video cards crapped out, and I'm looking to either get another of the same to run SLI again or get a nicer card to replace both of them. Any recommendations in the $200-250 range? |

its maxing out your price but the gtx 560ti would be good http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130604 or the GTX 460 which is in the 200-250 range both those cards would outperform a 9800 in Sli |

Thanks, Matrix. Any cards just above that one you would recommend? There's a $30 rebate on the card that brings it down to $217. If other cards rebates, too, I'm willing to spend a bit more. Is it worth getting the superclocked version of the same card? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130610 |

no not worth bying the super clocked it would make little change and you can always over clock it wiyth the evga precision tool which is free |

Thanks, Matrix, ended up getting the 560 Ti. Showed up yesterday and is running nicely so far. I can max out all settings except for shadows, which drop my fps by 20 or so when maxed. |
