I've been doing some research here and there.
Turns out, the ATi 4890/1G is not all that much more than what my HD4850/512 is worth. So I become interested.
Thing is, I'm really not sure if I should upgrade the graphics card, or keep my 4850 and upgrade CPU/MB/RAM first.
I like playing L4D2 on 1680x1050 and at times it drops below 30 fps. I dont know if its the HD4850 or my Opteron 170. I have 4GB of RAM.
The lower cost option is for sure the 4890 over getting all new hardware, but which will yield the best gains towards my example?
Thanks for any input.
