    Hello I hope this is in the correct section.

    I am looking to make a stopgap upgrade before I eventually get a DX11 card next year with a new build. Right now I am convinced that the only thing I really need to do (other than OC my CPU) is a new graphics card and I am looking for a bit more technical advice about which one to choose.

    Current Specs

    Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 2.5ghz
    Gigabyte iP31 Express
    4gb DDR2
    Palit Geforce 9600GT 512mb

    The card I am currently eyeing up is a GTX260. I'd prefer to stick with Nvidia unless there's a cheaper faster Ati card. So yeah any help would be muchly appreciated.

    "ATI Radeon 5850 and 5870 cards with DX11 support, 1GB of RAM each, and triple monitor support are due in late September but with mass shipments in October. Nvidia's part apparently will be out in December at the earliest." - AMDZONE

    Patience is a virtue
