So I am asking much wiser minds than myself in this forum. I currently am extremely interested in getting in the 3D gaming scene and stoked about the new GTX 400 cards. I Currently have a evga gtx 275, quad core cpu at stock 2.83ghz and 4 gb ram. I am looking at getting a total overhaul but want to do things in steps. My main question is: should I get a new cpu, i7, new MB and 6 gb ram and leave my video card alone or should I get a 480 gtx and new monitor with the 3D kit. My main concern about getting the cpu/ram first is the 3D performance. I am upgrading things for 3D and I want that aspect of the system to run at its best. Would my current system be able to get enough out of the 480 to have a smooth 3D experience? Please comment and thanks in advance

I have i7 overclocked to 3.6, 6GB ram and evga gtx275. I run most games well with playable frame rates (30+). Some games I have to turn some options down to medium and can't run AA at 16x but that is okay with me.
My Advice

>Upgrade Processor and Ram if you find you need to. (Or just overclock your processor)

The 480 looks nice, but it might be a good idea to wait for the refresh of the cards 5 or 6 months from now.
Your current system will hold up fine, just get the 3d and enjoy it.
I know it's hard waiting, but I think it'll be worth it. Intel is releasing a 6 core processor
soon (12 cores with hyper threading).. get one of those puppies, 8gb of fast
ram a couple 480 when they refresh and you'll be laughing.

The 480 looks to be a beast, but I agree that it's worth the effort to go 3d first and jump on the 480 or 485 down the road a bit when the technology has matured and prices have come down. Your 275 will run 3d Vision just fine.

I totally disagree. In 3d the GPU is working flat out and your CPU will have very little effect on the final framerates. If you were talking about 2d in lower res, say below 1920 x 1060 your CPU would slow frame rates by about 20-25% with your set up. Once you get into intensive Graphics (3d) and higher resolutions your GPU become the bottlekneck. In 3d it has to draw everything twice!! So for a primary 3d set up i would go for the fastest GPU you can afford with the 3d kit. The CPU and the rest can wait. Remember there will likely be a big jump this year in CPU speeds as Intel jump to 6 or even 8 cores with hyperthreading, effectively 12/16 cores. Your set up will barely hold back even the most powerful GTX480 in 3d at the moment.
Mind you i am waiting to see how fast the 400series run with optomised drivers, then and only then will i make a decision on which one to buy, also prices are already coming down, i have seen a gtx470 below £300 already....

Yes, except that you can't very well just make the argument that the gpu is more important and should be the part to prioritize when the rest of the system is falling out of date. Eventually that becomes like putting a new paint job and leather seats in a 1980 Escort. You have to keep the entire system up-to-date for it all to be optimized to work together; and IMO with the 275 the OP has plenty of power to run 3dV and should first focus on bringing his mobo/cpu/ram up to date before shelling out top dollar for a brand new top of the line gpu.
My rule of thumb is that any piece of my system might be one generation behind, but never 2. And if the op's gpu has just become 1 generation behind, it's time to step up the cpu before it soon becomes 2 gens behind.

maxpower does not need new cpu and motherboard, just new graphics card for 3d vision, quad core is sufficient, cpu influence in stereo is limited to zero, however it is always good to upgrade everything
4gb of system memory is more than enough, because most of games are 32-bit games, important is only 64-bit os

No, performance for pound is what matters not some generation rule. An i7, mobo, memory etc will cost you far more then a new GPU, even more when you consider the performance per £££. If he left his GTX275 in and brought your suggested set up, he would not see any benefits in 3d, Waste of money!!!! If he bought a new 400 series GPU he would immediately benefit from a big performance hike especialy in 3d. Then when the i7 drops in price when the new CPU comes out he could replace the rest.
It makes no sense. Your argument, with all respect, is not based on logic but Techno snobbery.

Not surprising, in 2d any current CPU will limit a pair of 285's. BUT not in 3d. The GPU's will be the bottleneck in 3D. They simply are running max trying to draw everything twice and the CPU will not be a problem. So of course i7 is quicker in 2d, but barely any differnce in 3d......
I repeat, if you spent the money on a 400 series card, you would achieve a much greater performance boost in 3D. In 2D the CPU would be the problem especialy in lower resolutions, but in very high res, much less of a problem and in 3D, no problem...

I'd vouch for CPU, which means new motherboard and new ram /pirate.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':pirate:' /> and suuuuuuuurely that would be a kick up the bum in fps gain?
anddddd if you say our going for an enitre overhall why not just get the main system down then add the extras. The way i see it would be get the new i7, motherboard and ram and keep your g-card.... then upgrade your g-card (and get its maximum benafit ) then finnaly get 3d vison + the screen.
The 3d side of it all is awesome... but it will only improve over time and the games you miss at release will never disaper when you do jump on....... /thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbsup:' />

I'd vouch for CPU, which means new motherboard and new ram
anddddd if you say our going for an enitre overhall why not just get the main system down then add the extras. The way i see it would be get the new i7, motherboard and ram and keep your g-card.... then upgrade your g-card (and get its maximum benafit ) then finnaly get 3d vison + the screen.
The 3d side of it all is awesome... but it will only improve over time and the games you miss at release will never disaper when you do jump on.......
