As I have discussed before, my GeForce 8500GT just isn't cutting it. It's making the game a lot less fun. So with a pursuit to have a better graphics card, I did my research.
I will be getting a ASUS TOP 4850HD 512MB card. Core clock and memory clock are decent, has good reviews. I'm also getting a new PSU.
And to my surprise, a friendly man on another forum I attend offered to give me a new processor for free as long as I pay shipping. He said he had a new one and didn't need his old one. Turns out it's a AMD 64 X2 6400+ Black Edition dual-core processor.
Now I must ask do you guys think this will be substantial enough to play TDU on at least medium settings and 1280x1024 resolution? I hope so, but just asking.
Current processor to new processor:
AMD 64 4000+ @2.6GHz single-core
to
AMD 64 X2 6400+ @3.2GHz Black Edition dual-core
Current video card to new card:
Nvidia GeForce 8500GT 256MB GGDR2
to
ASUS TOP 4850HD 512MB GGDR3
Current PSU to new PSU:
Stock Delta Electronics 250W
to
Corsair CMPSU-400CX 400W
Current RAM:
4GB DDR2 667MHz
Obviously I know this will be a substantial upgrade, but can anyone tell me how my performance overall will be after this upgrade. I'm hoping it will be a big jump from my current specs and hopefully I'll be able to play TDU with good settings finally!
