I am wondering if it would be worth upgrading my graphics card...
My comp specs:
CPU-AMD Athlon 64 x2
MB - EVGA K8-NF41 PCIExpress x16
Mem - 4gig ( 4x1) DDR400
Current Graphics card - NVIDIA 7800GT
I'm have to keep this computer and see if I can get any improvement for cheap till next summer/fall when I can afford a new build. Any graphic card upgrade would have to be PCI express x16.
I was wondering if it would be worth it to buy a
Galaxy 95TGE8HUFEXX GeForce 9500 GT 1GB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready Video Card $67.00 as an upgrade, if it would give me any improvement gaming wise?
Or would it be better to go SLI? I don't think I can get another card like mine , it's old .
How about twin BFG Tech BFGR79512GTOCE GeForce 7900GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI in SLI mode? at $50.00 each that's only $100.00 total . Just wondering if any of these options would be worth it? I mainly play HL2 DOD, would like to have more FPS, would really like to be able to play COD4 MW2 , but I don't know...
Can my CPU even handle SLI? I'm not sure how to even set that up??Or will my CPU be the bottleneck with SLI? I guess I also have to see if my PSU wil handle SLI , I think my case can handle the heat, it is large with several 120 fans.
