I hadn't really planned to upgrade just yet but my girlfriend's 9800 just gave up so I'm going to give her my 4890 and get something new ^^ this happened a week ago and I was just going to get a 5850 and maybe OC a little but a friend told me to wait for the 6series. So I did and here I am. I'd just like a bit of advice on which exactly to get, the 6850 or 6870.. or even a 5850 ;\
I'm told the 6850 will be a little easier to overclock so I can get a bit more for my money but since I haven't really kept up with hardware in the last year, I'm much better off asking you guys ;p
The main thing I need help with is once decided on which video card, I'm not sure what model to get exactly. I generally order my parts from ncix but there's like 8 different companies with their own cards and I never know which one to take
budget: hopefully $250ish - give or take 50 ;p
specs:
i5 750 @ 3.6
4 gigs g skill something
asus p7p55d deluxe
I'd really appreciate any help! thanks a lot.
