Hey guys. I've been a HardOCP reader for years but didn't join the forum until today. I'm reading all the GTX460 reviews and am strongly considering picking one up as an upgrade to my current vid card, a 4850 512mb. But I'm concerned it won't make much of a difference since I'm not running the latest and greatest processor.
My system:
MB: P5Q Pro
RAM: 2x2gb OCZ Reaper
CPU: E8400 @ 4.0ghz (445x9 @ 1.4v)
GPU: 4850 @ 710mhz
Max CPU and GPU temps are right around 61C
So the question is, am I going to see much benefit with the 460 or should I save my money and invest in a new platform first? I primarily play SC2 beta and COD:MW2 at 1680x1050 with all options maxed.
