    overkill??

    I currently have a AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor, G.SKILL 4GB DDR2 800 and a EVGA GeForce 8800GT.  This video card is great but I've had my eye on the GeForce GTX 260.  With my specs would you guys/gals say that's overkill. I don't want to end up "bottlenecking"

     

    Thanks

    er......what do you mean? what are you using your pc for?

    if you are satisfied with your 8800GT, no need to upgrade to GTX 260. 

    actually, GTX 260 is a decent video card. but of course GTX 280 HD 4870x2 is better.

    Re: overkill??

    I use my machine for gaming (age of conan, cryis, fallout 3 etc..) And I do a lot of graphic design work with (Photoshop, etc..)

    I am satisfied but I'm curious on how much of a boost in video game performance I will get out of the GTX 280.
