Hey all, need some advice on PC Gaming, the local electronics store is having its Black Friday sale tonight and they have Sapphire HD6570 2gb cards for NZD$87.00 (USD$70.00)
I've been running a 1gb NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT for a couple years now since I put together my first gaming machine and I'm starting to feel like its holding me back, however a quick look at benchmarks and reviews have shown me that the 6570 is not that great
What I'm wondering is is the upgrade worth it anyway since I'm using a 5 year old card? I don't really have the money to get anything better, just figured I might go for this deal since it's on.
Also as a side note, is it generally a good idea to upgrade cooling when you increase power usage in your PC? I was thinking of getting a couple more fans anyway since I have mine clocked quite fast and while I'm used to the hum it bothers my mates
