I have a Pentium D 930 overclocked to 4GHz, 2GB DDR2 RAM, ASUS P5LD2 mobo. Currently I have a 7600gs in my system and playing games with my 19' wide 1440x900.
I'm experiencing choppy framerates with latest games so I guess my 7600gs is holding me back. After seeing 8600gts benchmarks, I feel it's better to get a 8800gts 320MB. The only concern is that I'm afraid my Pentium D will bottleneck the 8800. I dont think its worth spending on a C2D and new mobo(Beyond my budget).
Do you think I should get the 8800gts 320MB or save my money and get 7900gs/7950gt or radeon 1950pro? Or even wait for the R600s and retail 8600gts?
Thanks!
