Hi all,
I'm in the process of building a computer, and I'm at the point where I need a graphics card. At the moment, I have two 22" monitors at 1080p. However, I do plan on getting a 27" monitor which I would be running at 2560x1440, flanked by my two 22" monitors. I don't have any plans to run any games across all three screens, so that's not much of an issue.
Somebody I work with recommended find a GTX680 on eBay, which usually run for around $350. I've also thought about a GTX580; those seems to run about $200. I also have some sort of fairly old Nvidia graphics card around that I might could use for the two secondary monitors (I'll try to find it and let y'all know what it is).
I'm not necessarily against AMD, but I have heard about problems with the fog in Skyrim (on my to-play list).
Other recommendations have included the Radeon 7870 and the GTX 660 or 660Ti (what's the difference anyways?). Or, I could get a GTX 670 for possibly a little less than a 680.
SO. MANY. OPTIONS.
Any help on my best buy would be appreciated.
Edit: In case it factors into the decision, or if anybody is just curious, I'm using an Intel i7 3820 CPU.
