hey all,
I am a gamer on a budget, but I've come into some cash recently and I want to splurge a little, and get a gtx 460, but I'm wondering if I'll have bottlenecks or not, as my system is about 2 years old and amd
specs:
2.7ghz amd 7750 black edition processor not oced.
4x1gb ddr2 800mhz ram ( heard from two different people that it is bad to fill your ram slots, but better bacause its faster slightly?)
500gb 7200rpm hdd
9800gt from... xfx i think.
790gx amd mobo from biostar, that is am2+ and said its am3 ready.
500w 28a psu that's still going strong.
1920x1080 aoc monitor
windows 7
So yeah my questions are: What bottlenecks will I have in upgrading my 9800gt to a gtx 460?What performance increases will I see? Is it worth the upgrade, or should i wait? I would like to upgrade, but obviously this system is still fine for playing games at high settings.
Im also looking at possibly upgrading my cpu, but I don't know if it is worth it or not. suggestions? Also, what performance differences are there of having ddr3 ram vs ddr2, what does it do real world?
Thank you!
