Hi Guys,
I'm a old guy that still likes to game with FPS and Flight Sims and needs some good advice (yea I'm sure a bunch of you have shot me before)
Below are my current system specs. I'm wondering if a video card upgrade will be worth the money. I am considering picking up a AMD Radeon HD 6970 2GB. I currently have 3 LG 23" W2340V Monitors running through a Matrox (THTG) Triple Head to Go, which works semi-OK.
My main questions are
Is the Radeon HD 6970 the fastest card out now?
Will it run the 3 monitors I have now or will I still need the (THTG)?
Can I run the 6970 and the GTX 295 at the same time? (is this a crazy thought?)
Will I see much difference in the 6970 over the nVidia GTX295 I have now?
Is there anything else I can do to increase performance without breaking the bank?
Currently playing for reference (MOH, COD, BBC2, MSFS)
