    Hi guys,

    I've got an oldish ABIT IN9 32 X-MAX mobo, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40 GHz CPU. Just updated to a Samsung 250GB SSD, have installed Windows 7 64-bit, and the beta drivers for my AMD Gainward 4800.

    The problem is I installed BF4 and it runs like ****. I am considering something like this: http://www.hardwareversand.de/2048+MB/60159/ASUS+EAH7770-2GD5%2C+AMD+Radeon+HD+7770%2C+2GB%2C+PCI-Express.article

    Any better cards / ideas welcome... or even the thumbs up for the card linked would be good too..

    Thanks a million in advance!

    I would say overlock your CPU if you haven't done this yet and I would go with this card .

    Will need a cooler as well for overclocking but don't expect miracles. What powersupply and case do you have?

    Ah I would imagine the PSU is decent enough because he has been running a 4800 series by ATI so it should be at least 500 watt at a guess .

    PSU actually blew up on me a few months back, which was the catalyst for my upgrading... it was 600W but I got a spare 880W from a buddy so it's grand.

    The case is a Gigabyte Triton.
