So I've been buying a bunch of games from Steam in the sales the last few months however I've not played some due to wanting to play on a better GPU for higher settings, AA levels etc. With xmas money I've got an opportunity to upgrade my GPU and wondering which way I should go (if upgrade at all?). I can't afford a new computer, that is probably a couple of years away.
Current system:
Intel E6750 @ 3Ghz
Gigabyte P35-DQ6 Motherboard
4Gb RAM
5770 1Gb OC video card
1680x1050 resolution
750w Enermax PSU
I'm basically trying to decide whether to go for another 5770 in Crossfire (aware of the scaling limitations but definite potential to match a 5870) or spend a little more on the new 6850 Barts? Or will the rest of my system hold it back a bit much to really gain the potential of an upgrade?
