Graphic Card Decision
I have spent a fair few pounds on building one of the most up to date systems.
The main specs are:
Intel i7 930
Cosair H50 Watercooler
ASUS Rampage II Gene
6GB Mushkin Redline 998805
My current Graphics card is a Nvidia Geforce 8800GTX
I understand this will be a bottle neck in the system, because it wont be up to speed with the other components.
I have been told that it would be a great system if it had Nvidia GTX 480 or an ATI 5870. The 5870 draws less power, thus generates less heat. On paper the GTX looks great. I understand that Nvidia and Intel work together (AMD + ATI) so would it be suitable if i had the GTX 480?
What are peoples opinions on these cards too?
Thanks
Dan
