Hi, I'm putting together a system for someone, and I'm not sure which card to advise them to get.
Main aspect is the're leaning towards a 22" wide screen, as far as I know the resolution of these is about 1600x1200 or something quite high. I think HD3850 will make the cut, 'cos I don't think the person is really worried about Maxing all the graphics options or anything. Plus another friend has a 7900gt or 7950gt can't remember, with that size screen and he says it's totally fine, and as far as I know 3850 is much better.
So do you think HD3850 is good enough? We might go for HD3870 or 8800gt anyway, I know the're better, but I want to get him what he requires without spending too much.
