[Milos-stancene]

Hi!

I have recently bought Samsung 24TFT 1920x1200 and my 7900GTX dies at that rez!
So,could you help me to pick the best produkt - GPU- ?

Sistem:

E6600 OC 3,1
Samsung 2x1 Ram
BadAxe intel motherboard
Enermax liberty 500 Watt
7900 GTX 512.

Thank you!

Well, if you don't want to replace that PSU...
The absolute best card you could run is a 4870. Or, if your mobo supports it, 4850s in crossfire would be best.

A new PSU, and then you can get a new X2 (ATI) or something like a 9800GX2 (as I have now). But a new PSU should be the primary concern (as the liberty can't power those cards). However an older card, such as an 8800GT, or GTS 512 would easily display at that rez.

Hello mate
Get a new PSU and then go for ATI HD 4870X2

Thanx!
PSU 800 - 1000 Watt ?
ATI HD 4870X2 or quad ?

 

[Milos-stancene]

I cant find 4870X2 quad game benchmarks !!!

You shouldn't be needing quad - a single x2 should be fine for just about anything right now.

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww no need for 800watt psu lol!

if your motherboard supports it, dual 8800GT's... if not i guess a 9800GTX? or 4870?

 

[Maziar]

Yeah a single HD 4870X2 would be enough

to V3NOM:
No,if he can afford HD 4870X2 then he shall buy it its the fastest card arround

[Milos-stancene]

Yes,but what about Quad X2 ????

 

[-Fran-]

Yes,but what about Quad X2 ????

If u got money to burn, sure... But like all the above said, a 4870X2 should be enough. Even a 4870 should be enough, lol.

Esop!

But what about QUAD x2

2 4870x2 = quad it would be overkill. in my opinion get 1 4870 or 1 4870x2.

MultiGPU doesnt always scale well,there are some games that HD 4870X2 loses to GTX 280 because the game doesnt support MultiGPU,also CrossFireX doesnt always perform well too,so i say go for a HD 4870X2 its plenty fast

4870 X2 CrossfireX would be massive overkill for that resolution. I'm only scaling over a single at 2560x1600 with high AA/settings with mine. In addition, you'd need at least to upgrade to a 1000W PSU to be safe.

are u kidding me 1000w for a single 4870x2?!
all u need is a good quality 600w psu.

 

[Milos-stancene]
