I in the early stages of pricing out a new rig and I have one very important factor I am looking to consider. I want to hook it up (almost exclusively) to a 37” Aquos 1080p LCD and I am looking for a mobo/GPU recommendation.
I know all the rage these past few weeks are the 4850 and 4870 but do these cards have enough juice for the higher resolution/ image size? Will I get a top notch gaming experience running one of these on my HDTV? Is crossfire something I should consider?
I ask because my old rig (stress old) has a X1900 card and athough its HDCP compliant and has DVI out the picture just doesn’t look 100% right. Part of the trouble is probably that I really only play WoW on the pc right now and I’m not really sure if I’m using the right resolutions. My future usage should change significantly as I would love to be playing AoC or Crysis or whatever and I am hoping to build in other components to make this rig a true media centre for blu-ray etc.
Any insight would be very helpful!
