Hello,
I've been out of the loop now for a good 4 years, as my computer gaming disappeared after the fateful BF1942 tournament years... well I've found gaming again, and am about to do a major system over-haul.
I'm currently in the process of picking out a new video card or cards... and I can see price\performance comparisons .
I was looking at the highend (280?) GeForce or a Crossfire 4850 setup, because I intend for the system to play all games right now, and I only use my computer for movies, games, and online FOREX trading.
But I will be using a 22" inch wide screen monitor, and tend to not upgrade my computers... just build them every 4-5 years.
Is there any high end GFX cards I should toss of the list because of this, or maybe should consider buying judging on how I have historically updated my systems? I'd like to be able to play all new games coming out for at least the next 2 years... I mean, my ATI 9600 pro was pimpin Half Life2 Ep. 2, and STALKER, but not as much as I'd like anymore.
Also, within the upcoming years I may get a flat screen and try to hook up my computer to that for a giant game experience... so IDK how much a GFX card may affect that\interact with TV capabilities... heheh.
thanks for any pointers.
