Hey guys..... I have an Asus M3A78-CM mobo which supports hybrid crossfire. I need a good graphics card for playing games at 1920x1080 resolution at medium settings. I also watch HD movies and have Vista Ultimate. Which graphics card do u guys suggest? Thanks in advance....

don't even bother with hybrid crossfire. they say that you get almost double the performance, but going from 4fps to 8fps in a game isn't going to make a whole lot of difference. i'd suggest just getting a real video card, like a 4650 or a 4670, or if your budget allows, a 4830./

i agree with post above.
at that resolution i would go with the 4830 or a 9600gt minimum.
i would recommend 4870 or gtx260.

take a look at this benchmark: http://guru3d.com/article/amd-780g [...] -a780gma/7

 

while adding in a hybrid xfire card does boost performance, why would you want to play at 1024x768 on low graphics quality? it's just not worth it.

 

EDIT: you could actually find a 4650 for around $80 on newegg.

So which card do youy guys suggest? I want to play games like NFS Undercover in medium settings and I only have 80$ to spend on the card. Which is better for gaming Nvidia or ATI Radeon?
