Card's with 64-bit drivers that don't suck!

[technician1986]

Hello,

I'm looking to order a graphics card to go with my new build, which will be here Monday. It's an i5 750 with 8g G.Skill RAM, Gigabyte UD3R mobo, 212 CPU cooler, etc.

I have a new 23" LG 1920x1080 monitor that I will be using, not for gaming, but as a Digital Audio Workstation with Cubase 5. However, I really wouldn't mind a good card that would allow me to use multiple screens down the road.

I was originally looking at the XFX HD-575X-ZNFC Radeon HD 5750. However, after reading a ton of reviews, apparently it SUCKS with 64-bit driver support.

What should I do?!

Oh I'm sorry I should mention Antec 902 case and I'm trying to spend about $150. And I want it to make coffee for me and cut the lawn.

Man I checked every review on every site for all sorts of cards, and couldn't find one that hat "stable 64-bit" drivers. Can anyone link me on NewEgg to something that they're currently running in 64-bit in my price range?

For now, one, down the road.. maybe 2...

If I can get away with under $175 that would be sweet...

I probably will never play a video game on this particular PC

I run an i7 920, with a 5870 on win7 x64. I have had no issues with drivers.

5870's are sick, but they're all like $400 bucks +. And I don't think I need anything that crazy.

What about this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150323

With the i5 system you have created, it feels like a complete waist putting in something so outdated.

I don't think the 64 bit driver issues people are having with the 5770's, are the normal.

 

[technician1986]

Alright, I'm gonna go with the 5750 in my original post and hope the reviews on NewEgg aren't the norm, like you said. I see drivers for it on their website and it appears to be fine with 64-bit.

NewEgg reviewers are usually only tools who don't know how to build a system and then moan about the product when it's them trying to slam a PCIe card into an AGP slot, or don't know how to clean out old drivers before adding new ones.

That sounds about right, lol
