Possible GPU Upgrade, or PC Too Old?
Hi Guys,
I'm looking to give my PC a cheap boost, I would like to be able to play the latest games with good framerates.
Currently, I have the below spec:
Intel i7 920 D0 @ 3.4GHz (Won't really clock higher anymore, although used to run all day long at 4.2GHz).
6GB Patriot Viper @ 1600MHz 8-8-8-24 2T
Gigabyte EX58-UD5
2x Gigabyte GTX 260s (216s) in SLI @ 650MHz/1450MHz/1000MHz
Games installed on 1TB 7200rpm HDD
NEC 24WMGX3
Can I get away with just replacing the GPUs, or will newer GPUs be bottlenecked too much by the rest of the system?
All suggestions welcome, thanks!
