At that resolution, you don't need more than a GTX 260.

are u sure coz i saw benchmark results for farcry 2 and 4870 performs very slow at 4x AA and 8x AF even gtx 260 is not performing well but gtx 275 lives up to its mark i am checking at 1680x1050 resolution benchmarking it is close to 1440x900 and there are many driver problems with ati so i am not so sure i should buy ati is ati really better than nvidia i never used a ati card before but nvidia i hav used and i had no problems

you don't need SLI for your resolution with a GTX 260

AMD 940...

Just be careful....your obviously neglecting your english classes as it is am i right

Go google some benchmarks...don't reply...don't question...google

Thus you dumb it down for yourself

Do i need to spell it out for you?

google 8 vs 9 series if you have to.....how in the hell do you think we know which card is which and whats new and old...whats powerful and whats a waste...because we searched....

well i am just an 18 year old boy my dad works but he can buy me whatever i want so please tell me a good motherboard and processor for about 150-200$ if possibble a few extra 10-20$ is not a problem

are u sure i dont need intel?i never used an amd mobo before or amd processor

no thanx core i7 is expensive and my dad will surely say no no no and no so how about a good amd mobo with phenom II 940? will that be good with my gtx 260 or should i get radeon against gtx 260

Well a good mobo and a phenom II 940 will cost you over 200$ the cpu wil run you 190$ and a good mobo will cost you another 100$. If you have the money go for it.

In my opinion i would go with the combo i showed you and invest the extra cash on ram, video card, cooling product etc.

As for the graphic card i would go with an ati card because your mobo will most likely support crossfire.

We don't know! A 4870 could run most games great at 1440 x 900 but I don't know what fps your aiming for, is 20 FPS OK? 30? 60?

It should run fine but for crysis nvidia cards tend to do better. So if your a huge crysis fan go for nvidia they tend to do a bit better. But if you play various type of games you cant really go wrong with either cards.

Minus Crysis(/Fallout 3?), an HD 4850 would give you playable framerates in all games @ max settings. And to the above two games, the difference between playing on High and Ultra or turning AA off isn't THAT much.

Well this thread progressed alot....just buy a 4870 1gb...

Sapphire, Diamond, and XFX are all very good companies. Just buy the cheapest 4870 you can find out of these brands because the difference between a $180 4870 and a $125 4870 will be almost nothing. Also don't get "fooled" by better cooling performance either because in the end that doesnt matter. One last thing, make sure to buy from www.newegg.com or www.zipzoomfly.com for the best prices.
