6850 is outdated and can no longer be considered worthwhile for 1080p gaming. Maybe at medium settings you would be fine, but to enjoy the max graphics you need better card.
 
tht is true...... a more powerful 2GB card is must these days..... but not something I can go for right now......

I guess I will upgrade to new card along with better PSU later......

Right now am forced to upgrade these 3 core items..... bcoz my mobo is dying..... too many blue screens...... and none of the back USB/PS2 ports r working......

Also getting limited by Q6600 & 4GB RAM a lot more than the 6850 currently...... BF4 & COD Ghost dont even work on this setup......
