So I'm looking at maybe upgrading my video card in my current system shown in my sig below... I've had my GTX295 for a few years now and it's been a rock solid card... Now with BF3 coming out I'm wondering if I should upgrade to get all the bells and whistles out of it with DX11...
My question is how much do I pay for this upgrade? I guess I don't want to pay $500+ to get just a minor improvement in performance. I was looking at the 580's and wondered how much difference I will see in performance compared to my GTX295...
I played the Alpha and Beta for BF3 and my system ran pretty good... After I tweaked the settings I was able to get a consistent 60 frames but had to turn some things down / off to achieve this... I'd like to be able to max it out on Ultra setting if possible... It comes out tomorrow so I'm definately going to wait a week or so to see how it runs on my system before I do anything.
If anyone has any ideas on a good upgrade path I'd much appreciate it.. Thanks...
