What would be a good upgrade?

[DrSlickDaddy]

Right now I am running 2x Radeon 5750's and I don't like having 2 cards at all. They're loud, they run hot, and they aren't optimized all that well in some games. What would be a decent upgrade from these cards. I don't want anything to overkill just the next level. Thanks

Budget? And what is the rest of your system like?

Budget is around $250.

Specs:
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 3.2Ghz
2x Ati Radeon HD 5750's
Asus M4A87TD EVO
4GB DDR3 1333 RAM
Xtreme Gear 800 Watt PSU

Ehh, I would be against spending any more money on that system with that PSU you have. It's of bad quality and probably have a low amount of watts on the 12v rail. I would strongly recommend you get a new PSU or risk destroying your entire system.

That being said, a ATI 6950 or Nvidia 560 or 560ti will be way faster than 2 5760s

Recommendations on a new PSU?

corsair/antec/xfx/silverstone/seasonic/pc power & colling, those are the best psu bands, and i agree with him on the 6950 or GTX560ti, those are beasts, will max anything out today and for a little while after.

What Johnny said about the PSU. Look for a minimum 750w from those brands.

 

[jonnyp11]

well 750 if you want to un 2, i'd say a 6-650 for 1 and that'll give you a good bit of headroom
