    Cool What can beat my 4870x2 in SKYRIM?

    Hi,

    I have an old 4870x2 with Xfire working great in skyrim, over double FPS, I checked by disabling CAT AI)

    However I could still do with a tad more juice, it is a very old card, without spending a fortune! and I would like a card which does not sound like somebody is hoovering my room while I am trying to concentrate..

    Any suggestions?


    thanks.

    1. You need SB or ivy Oced

    2. A 5870 is faster than 4870 cf so a 6950 or 560 ti would be a small upgrade

    A 7850 oc would be a big upgrade
