Asus M4A88T-V EVO USB3 compatible graphics card

Well a lot of the decision has to do with what AMD CPU you're running, and the Games you want to play, and the resolution you're playing them on i.e. monitor. Also, if your current GPU is capable of Crossfire then that might be something to ponder -- to a point on the second x4 PCIe slot.

Keep in mind most expensive GPUs will be 'bottle-necked' to your CPU in comparison to a Sandy Bride.

Example:
For $170 XFX HD-687A-ZNFC Radeon HD 6870 -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... Lifetime Limited warranty.

i have phenom II x4 955 3.2ghz, I was just looking for one card, I have an older monitor the resoulution is 1440 x 900. I have 800W psu and 4g of ddr3 memory. that card you linked will that work? im fine with not running games at ultra but it would be nice, I wont see most of the benefits though because of my screen

Here's a good review to look at prior to buying and it has several useful benchmarks -> http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-6870-rade... when the article was written the HD 6870 was $240 and now it's $170.

thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it.
