I have been thinking about putting a new card in my computer but I am a bit hung up on the fact that the system as a whole is pretty out dated. I guess what I would like to know is if putting a better card in will really help much OR if it is just a waste of money that will just reveal another bottle neck in my system. I have a Q6600 quad core NOT over clocked because of cooling concerns with the case. 5 gig ram and currently a BFG 9600 factory OC'ed to I don't even remember what because I got it a few years ago. As is, I can run FSX acceptably and most everything else. Considering the system, I keep pretty modest expectations so I am never really let down by performance and in fact I am usually pleasantly surprised! It just struggles with some aspects of FSX and I know the CPU is a part of it but I think the dated GFX card is just as much a culprit and is much easily (financial so) to improve. I don't have room in the budget for a new system anytime soon so... what do you think? Any recommendations on a replacement card? Something fairly affordable and I would like to stick with nVidia as my last few have served me very well. I definitely don't need to spend a lot of money... I don't want to venture into '10 grand paint job on a pinto' territory. Thanks in advance!
