hey guys, i was hoping to get some info on what is worth the money as i am getting a mini upgrade. i was thinking of getting the evga killer nic pci express card, and the 5970 or the 5870 if it's majorily impossible to find.

my videocard is an 8800gtx 768mb and is quite old, i think 3 4 yrs old at least.
and i heard some good things on killer nic, but also been told it's not worth the money, for just a slight increase in performance.

Good sir, newegg has 5870's in stock.

Definitely don't get a Killer NIC. It's really really not worth the money.

Buy a core2quad cpu then the 5870.

i have a quad core 2.4 gig 65nm version. i just wanted to see if a 5970 was the way to go or wait for the new nvidia or just pick up a 5870 for 399 on rebate.

Wait for the new nVidia stuff... worst thing that happens is you've waited; best case the nVidia cards are amazing and the ATi cards drop in price. :)
