With the exception to the graphics card, what else do I need to upgrade in order to play Crysis, CrysisWarhead, FarCry 2 and pretty much all current 3D games at 60fps with all graphics settings set to full @ 1280x1024 Resolution?
Also, what GPU do you guys recommend that I get? Nvidia or Ati?
I'm looking forward in using this new GPU (and Rig) for at least another 2-3 years for future 3D games like Doom4, if possible ;)
I could spend around 400-450euros...
By the way, do Ati 4870 1GB & nvidia 280 GTX 1GB only work in a PCI-E 2.0 port cause my M/B only has PCI-E 16x!
I also noticed that nvidia 260 & 280GTX don't support DX10.1, so is that a major draw-back as far as performance & picture quality in games like Crysis or future upcoming games?
Also, does anyone by any chance know when and what will be the next GPUs released by nvidia & Ati? Will they be PCI-E 3.0 only cards or will they also be backwards compatible to PCI-E 16x also?
