5850 would be a smart investment.
you can probably get 70 bucks for your card .... I would say it will serve you well ..... And it will destroy your 8800 by a wide margin and give you Dx11 support if the Dx11 titles ever make it here ...... LOL |

What CPU are you running?
A 5850 would be a huge step up as long as your CPU didn't hold it back. |

My cpu is a Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition. I bought it more than a year ago or something. I believe it's still quite a powerful processor. How powerful are the latest cpu compare to mine? Cause I don't plan on upgrading my cpu for another two or three years. Also, I have 4 gigs of RAM. and 700w Antec PS.
