mellor

hi guys im looking to upgrade my gpu from my current ASUS radeon hd 6770 cu, to something with a lot more guts and have arround £200-£400 budget im pretty new to higher end gaming and just wondered what card to get NVIDIA or AMD, also apart from power supply will system hardware affect what gpu i can get?

firstly im using the drivers that came in the box from the last gpu (same one but faulty) and when i try to update it states i have up to date drivers. windows and everything else is stored on my sata hdd and day z, day z commander, steam and arma are installed on my ssd. i dont know how to monitor ram or cpu in game i just ctrl - alt - del to desktop and look at widgets which cpu and memory havent exceeded 50% to my recolection, once again sorry if these things ur asking are simple im just new to pc with only a basic understanding but quickly learning as im going along

Hi people, just to start im new to pc gaming and this game brought me into it so much i bought this new pc AMD FX-6100 Black Edition 3.3Ghz (zambezi) GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 motherbored 12Gb Kingston DDR3 1333Mhz 500w powersupply 500Gb seagate barracuda 7200 Rpm hdd (windows 7 ultimate installed) Sandisk 128Gb SSD (ARMA, Day z, Steam installed) ASUS HD 6770 Direct cu 1GB GDDR5 Running stock clocks @ according to SMARTDOCTOR 850mhz core clock and 4000mhz memory but according to amd vision controll its 850mhz core and 1000mhz memory :S the reason im here is im not getting any more than 20 fps and as soon as i come into contact with another player in pvp i get owned due to the framerates dropping even more and i cant deal with it much longer haha. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as i dont know if im bottlenecking my computer somewhere or what but when a friend has a basic amd quad core and 2gb ram with a OLD gpu hitting core clock 750mhz oc and getting better fps it kinda sucks. THANX .... james
