HDMI graphics card

Welcome to the forums!

Are you a gamer?

Yes im a gamer. Crysis and WoW and all the other games.


How much of a improvement will the next gen graphics cards be? I seem to remember everyone saying awhile ago the 9900 was coming out but it never did..... And what sort of price am i looking at for the next gen? Also im not running i7 yet iv got a 3.0 wolfdale.

if money is no object you should upgrade to an i7 with a minimum of two gtx275 or two 4890s with the current cards. Yes, the new cards are coming, but the improved performance will come with a bigger price premium, so cost/perfomance wise this generation will still get you more bang for your buck.

Its hard for me to do "money no object" unless I know a budget for a starting point...but for a resolution of 19x12 I would suggest the following (you could spend more, but it would not get great improvement in performance)

overclock the i7 to about 3.6 - 4.0, overclock the video cards using autotune in CCC, and you'll have about as good of real world performance as anything costing much more.

Well as far as HDMI almost every card today comes with adopters for DVI to HDMI as well as dvi to vga.

AS for the core i7 go for the 920 as it is the cheapest but can overclock amazingly well. As for a mobo if you are looking at mid to high end range there is

ASUS makes good motherboards and bad ones. Usually their high end is great and low is is questionable.

Some people claim they have some problems with it while others swear it is one of the best boards they have owned. I have done 2 builds with them for other people myself and say they are solid from the short time I worked with them.

Great board with a amazing warranty from EVGA. Also don't let the name fool you it does support Crossfire and sli like all x58's do.

If you want seriously high end then EVGA has the classified and ASUS has the Rampage Extreme II. Very pricey though.

lol...i'm not sure where you've heard that about Asus MBs, but they are consistently the most reliable boards on the market. I'm a system builder, and have used 100s...they had a bad production run when the p6t deluxe v2 came out, but that is the only issue I know of. Just take a look at the customer reviews, and keep in mind the majority of review sites, including toms, use the p6ts as their reference x58 MBs.

on the ram well the 1333 is clocked slower but with better timings then the 1600 and on a ddr3 board any ddr3 will bout work but this is some good ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820227408

it would be really awsome if newegg HAD any of those.......

Only problem im worried about is some of these fitting in my antec 900 case.....
