I'm kind of wondering, do I really even need something like a 3870 or 8800GT if my processor or something else would bottleneck it? I would like something like a 3870 or 8800GT, don't get me wrong, but if I can't use them to their full is it worth it? I would like a new card because this one is so old, but what would be a realistic addition to my system? I am not going to be upgrading anything else anything soon, short of a new system because it just would not be worth it. I want to new video card to run the games I got now better, and possibly pick up a new one here or there. I don't like FPS type games, so I am probably getting it really for Oblivion and SH4 (oh, and SH3).
