Hi there, forum.
[strike]I currently have three Dell P190S bought at a bargain and I was thinking of going multi-monitor with games. I need a recommendation of a card that can handle three monitors in portrait. The screen is a 1280 x 1024 in landscape. Not sure what it is when all three are in portrait. [/strike]
So what's the best single card solution for this? I'm not going to play with all the bells and whistles like AAs or PhysX. Just maybe between medium to high texture details and thats it really. Never touched Ultra and probably never will, but it works for me. I'm comfortable playing between 30 to 40 FPS.
My budget is between $200 to $300. I could probably go a little more but trying to avoid that.
Types of games I'll be playing:
Borderlands 2
Torchlight 2
Planetside 2
Skyrim
Blacklight Retribution
Maybe some Civilizations V?
EDIT 7/25 -
Passed the P190S to my other half, getting three Dell IN2030M.
Okay after much deliberation, I've decided to expand my budget a tap and narrowed my choices down to between the 7950 and the 7970. It has the VRAM and memory bus I want though now I'm faced with a dilemma. Will I notice a significant different between these two cards?
I'm going to keep it for say, another 2 to 3 years before I upgrade. Considering these criterias:
1) Current games
2) 4800x900
3) Single card solution (Multi-card solutions are a big no-no for me because a) power consumption and b) stability and/or playability)
Sapphire HD 7950 Dual-X OC vs Sapphire HD 7970 Dual-X. Help me decide!
