HD 5770 to...?

[weezin]

I have a Dell XPS 8100 with the Radeon 5770 gpu. It does alright with games like Battlefield 3, etc, but I'd like a little more performance.

I've got $100 - $150 to spend. Is there a card out there for that price that will give me a fairly significant performance boost from my 5770? Or should I even bother?

Dell XPS 8100
i7-860
Radeon 5770 1gb
8gb DDR3 1333MHz
350W PSU
1680x1050 (maybe higher in the future)

PS. Great forum, been reading for a few months now

Personally, I would save that money and wait. The $100-150 bracket doesn't net you anything that would warrant the upgrade imo, but there are other people with more informed opinions than mine on this board.

It depends what your PSU can handle. For example a 135$ GTX560 after rebate:

But I agree, I would save a little more.

Thanks, didn't realize there was a comparator

My PSU is only 350W...so I think I would have to upgrade it, no matter what gpu I put in...

you need to list ALL of your specs and the resolution you want to play at.

At 1680x1050 I even moreso say keep your money.
