IMO, there is nothing on the market that's worth upgrading to from a Phenom II X4 955. The only possibility is Intel's Sandy Bridge, but I don't see why anybody wouldn't just wait for Bulldozer to come out first, then do a comparison. I'm skipping this generation of CPUs, because my 955 destroys anything I throw at it at stock speeds, let alone with an overclock. Why do you want to upgrade now? :?

Well my boot speeds are pretty slow which I found to be weird, and I'm getting quite low frames per second on some of my games (I have a GTX 460 1GB Graphics card) and so I thought my processor might be the problem, am I wrong?

So I was looking up some AMD processors to upgrade from myAMD Phenom II X4 955 and apparently the 1090T and the 1100T performs lower than the 965 which I really don't get. I can't go intel either because I just bought my new MOBO for £170 (ASUS crosshair IV formula). So what would be a good upgrade from my 955?

Would a 6870 be a good upgrade? Would I see a major difference in frame rates if I changed to this graphics card?

You aren't really going to get a cheap upgrade from a 5770 that will be worth the cash. As said, wait for the next series, or grab a second 5770

I'm falling behind in technology and would like to upgrade my pc starting with the graphics card. What would be a good but yet cheap upgrade from a Radeon HD 5770? Also I have a Phenom II X4 955 Processor and a 650Watt PSU.

Basically, when I have my headset plugged in, voices don't play, (but it's okay when I'm using my speakers), like in some games such as fallout 3 and some other games which I can't remember and in the movie Scary Movie 3. This problem really has me baffled. And also it's just the voices that don't play, all ambience and sound effects work fine.

no dx11 though.trasherhead

I was wondering which of these 2 graphics card set ups will be the best, and what's the GTX equivelent to the ATI 5770?

would someone kindly send me a chart that compares 6950 to 6870 please if that's possible :)

6870 then crossfire later when you can afford to.

Yes chris I just thought this, and my budget is around £200 but i could save more for a 6970 but it could take a while. So yea buying a 6870 then in the near future buying another is a good idea. and by the way guys my resolution is 1920x1080
