@Ewy: Yeah I saw something about that specific card being around $500 USD, which is pretty insane. I was thinking more around the $200 area. I'll check out the guide you linked, thanks! Anything I should be wary of while looking at those cards, or will the majority of them work with my motherboard?

@Ewy: Oh, I for sure have ubersampling turned off, I also turned off ssao, motion blur, and depth of field, but it doesn't affect my frame rate in the slightest. Is the rest of my computer equipped to handle any type of the new Radeon graphics cards? All these variables when it comes to upgrading something is nerve racking.

Alright, my knowledge when it comes to choosing what to upgrade is pretty low. The only thing I'm comfortable picking and installing on my own is RAM, which I recently did about a week ago.

I'll get this out of the way first, here are my specs:

OS: Windows 7 (64 bit)

Video card: HIS - Radeon HD 6870 1GB (link)

RAM: Ripjaw DDR3, 2 x 2GB and 2 x 4GB (link) (link)

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD3P-B3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard (link)

Power supply: Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply (link)

Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I52500K (link)

Screen resolution: 1920 x 1080

Sorry for all the links, just wanted to provide as much information as possible.

Anyways, from what I've gathered my computer doesn't do the best when it comes to high performance games e.g. The Witcher 2 which I have about 30-45 frames when playing, the frame rate is constantly moving,I and Star Wars: The Old Republic, I'll have a solid frame rate but there's quite a lot of stuttering. I'm leaning towards upgrading my video card first but I'm not completely sure. Whatever the case, I won't be able to buy whatever it is that I need for 1-2 months.

Any recommendations are welcome, thanks!

Holy shit! When I start my playthrough of New Vegas on the PC I'm totally going to pick this up.

I guess the menu music is pretty good, isn't that like the only track that comes with the game?

Great seeing Witcher 2 in this list.

Once the initial 30 day time that comes with the game, I plan on signing up for the six month plan.

Interesting watch, thanks for posting.

Played through this yesterday. I liked dialogue choosing in multiplayer worked more then I thought I would.

The flashpoint was much longer then I anticipated, which was nice.

Saw this a few hours ago, awesome news, since I'm ordering my copy of the game through Amazon.
