WTB High end GPU

[ronakk]

Alright i have about 500 Bucks i wanna throw on a GPU But i dont know which one i wanna run with people say Dual 6850s are the way to go but i heard a single GTX 580 is better. Could you guys shot me the way of the best performance any suggestions will be helpfully. Also could somone point me to a good brand video card and one that stays cold

You should always go for the single more powerful card.That way can always add another card for the dual GPU.

What are your full system specs.?(CPU,RAM,etc.)

What is the make/model of your PSU?

What kinda of games do you play and what type of fps are you looking for?

For $500 I would go with a single GTX570.That way you can afford the best model that's avalible.And when you have the money you can add another for SLI.

But if you were looking to max out every detail in every game then a pair of GTX560ti's might be better.It all depends on what your looking to get out of the GPU purchase.

Well i wanna play the new Battle field and the new MW3 maxed out with over 60 Fps at 1920x1080

well you will have to wait till the games come out. who knows what you will need to run them maxxed out at 60fps, you might need 2 x gtx 580's. wait till the games are out if you really want to be sure, anything else is just a wild guess.

I agree.Although I'm very sure a pair of GTX560ti's should be able to max out both.
