February 14, 201016 yr Hi there. I'm planning on building a new system sometime soon and was wondering wether or not to upgrade my current XFX 9800GT XXX to a ATI HD5850 or wait till the new Nvidia cards come out. The rest of the system is based on a Core i5 750 which will probably be OC'd and 4 gig of ddr3 1600Mhz RAM. What do you guys think???

February 14, 201016 yr Author Sorry, forgot to say, I'll be using FSX on this system. Intel Core i7-3770K @ 4.4GHz|Asus Maximus V Extreme|16Gb Ballitix Tracer @ 1866MHz|EVGA GTX680 SC Signature SLI|Asus Xonar Pheobus|Custom Watercooling|Corsair AX1200W PSU|CM Cosmos II
February 15, 201016 yr Your current video card should do fine. A good heatsink/fan and overclocking the i5 750 is going to give you more boost than a video upgrade. Art
