I recently bought an LG 3D 1080p monitor, and sadly to say my gts 450 cannot handle the change from a 720p not 3D monitor to a 1080p 3D monitor without me lowering the settings in most games while I play in HD 3D. Now what I am asking is for help to find the best card for under 200$ as of right now..... or should I just wait for the amd 7000 series and Nvidia 600 series to find out?
Please respond
7200 rpm hdd isnt so terrible.
What brand psu?
The thing is our psu needs to have a combined 38amp on the 12 volt rails
if so, then id recommend either a 6870 or 6950 for that price range. Waiting on the new series means higher prices as well. I think for price to performance the gtx560 or other 2 from ati i listed should work well

Thanks for.doing the footwork Greg.
Thats the exact card i was suggesting.
The 6870 would def be great for your budget/situation if you cant swing.the 6950.
TY for the help guys, Now I have a general sense of direction. I think Ill either go for the 6870, or wait until Nvidia releases their 600 series. I just want to get the biggest bang for the buck. Also any ideas what I should do with my OC GTS 450? is there a way to use it a a dedicated physx card along with the 6870 to play games such as batman AC?

It would work fairly well as a physx card. Just Make sure you meet the power requirements to.do so.
As far as "bang for the buck" is concerned, the 6870 is definitely the way to go. For $140 after rebate, you get a pretty slick card that can play every single modern game on high/ultra settings.
As far as the 600 series, you could wait but those will be much more expensive and will most likely have some driver issues right off the bat. If i was in your position i would 100% get the 6870 as the current drivers are really good and it's an overall solid card.
wow look at my post, im a real amd fanboy apparently...
