Hi,
I'm new to this forum, but I did read alot of threads on this website and joined it.
I don't really have a problem, I just want some advice. Today I sold my 4870X2 for 73Euro's (85 dollars I guess) which was modded a bit(Ghetto style: place fans when there's room). But now I wanna have another GFX card, very preferably a single one.
I'm sick of the scaling issues and the fact that I was getting less performance with my 4870X2 @ 850 Mhz then with my 9600GT in the first build I ever made(year ago) in games like SC Conviction, Fifa, MW2 and some other low-gfx games. However, in benchmarks, JC2, Crysis 2, BC 2 etc. the 4870X2 was better.
Since I'm not playing the high-gfx games as much as I used to, Im downgrading to something like a GTX460. I had that card a few months ago, and I loved it(if my memory's not failing). However: my eyes were fixed on numbers like 1600 shader cpu's, 120 dollars cheap, 256 bit more bandwidth.
So I wanna have a comfortable (no new drivers every week, no checking my case if something's burning, etc, etc)gfx card again which can play games like BF3 and AC: Revelations maxed out (with 8x AA and 16x AF at least) in 1440x900. No typo:
"I was using an overclocked 4870X2 to play CoD MW2 with 2x AA in 1280x720 for 3 months." (I like the lower res. only in CoD MW2)
This is where you'll have to read:
I want to have a card that can max out all popular games in 1440x900 for the upcoming 2 years. My budget is: infinite, but I won't spend more then 200 dollars. My system specs:
| i5 750 @ 3.6 1.25V
| CM Hyper 212+
| 2x2 GB OCZ Gold DDR3-1440 CL7
| GA-P55M-UD2 F11
| 640 GB SATA II
|7 Ultimate X86
| Antec 300
| GX750W 60A@12V
I was thinking about the GTX 460 1 GB, but will the 256 bit bus really help me when doing alot of anti-aliasing but almost no resolution? I've had the 1 GB from Gygabyte(OC) once already as stated above.
Whatever card you advice: keep in mind that I do not want that much (driver) issues. I'm an overclocker/tweaker, but if Im coming home from school I dont want to check my case if theres no piece of GPU hanging out(quite literally).
Please help me out, thanks already!
PS Im a 14 year old boy from Holland, so my English isnt as good as youre used to
