Good morning,
As the title says it's finally that time where games are starting to make my GPU stutter on the higher settings. So I spent a day researching and mostly came away frustrated as I'm very out of touch with GPU's it seems.
So looking at NCIX and with a 500$ budget in mind I'm looking to get a new card , the reason I'm asking is because they vary between $350 to $ 500 on that site so picking one isn't as obvious and I don't just pick the most expensive unless it's the clear better choice.
All my gaming is done on a single monitor @ 1920x1200 (with no intention of upgrading monitors) I play things like Rift , Skyrim , Bioshock ,Borderlands 2 but no COD's or BF3's , I just want to run my games on ultra like any gamer and I don't even care if it's always 60fps I just don't want slide show like when I tried FC3 on ultra.
I'd be totally ok as well with if I was told that say a 660TI would do everything I need as I heard they are good cards too, I just don't know enough.
Any help is appreciated as I have read the forums and the hierarchy charts but even with all that I find that there is a large window of missing information that I don't know like what brands are actually good ect ect.
