After seeing my 4890 perform worse and worse during 2010-2011 as is now required something new. A solid container with good air flow that can play BF3 on high settings (not max-max) and no performance drops.
Current setup:
-------------------------
• AMD X4 PII 940 BE@3.56GHz
• XFX HD4890 OC'd (Performs very well for being such an old card)
• GA-MA790X-UD3P
• 4GB of DDR2 RAM (Corsair TWIN2X4096-8500CS)
• 500GB HDD
• 650W Corsair PSU
• Windows 7 64-bit
• + a small chassis
I plan to get myself a XFX HD6970 shortly, with the reason for my current card is not enough. And a new chassis called Cooler Master Sniper: Black Edition.
What do you think I should upgrade? If you say that I shall upgrade my MB - upgrading RAM, HDD and eventually a CPU follows.
All opinions and ideas are welcome, thanks!
