ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I run dual monitors and usually watch DVD's, Hulu, youtube or netflix on the second monitor. Right now with my current set up, I lose fps 70% of the time on the primary monitor, which is the gaming monitor. Sometimes I lose no fps, when I do I average about a 20fps drop. I just don't want to buy more card than my CPU, PSU can handle. I have a preferance to stay above 60fps no matter where I am, but certainly don't mean to complain when I drop below 60.

A Radeon HD 6850 is a great value for the price and would be a pretty big increase over your 5750.

Oh and I didn't see your budget. Get a 6870 for that budget.

Your not going to get too much card for your psu for $200. lol

The best gpu's in your price range are the HD6870 and GTX560.

Thank you both for your replies. One last question, will either of those cards eliminate the framerate drop I am experiancing, while watching any video's on the second monitor? Even if I have a websight open and an ad on the side shows video I will lose framerate.

I don't know, I usually do one thing at a time on one monitor.
