I currently have a pair of Diamond MM Radeon 4870 video cards in my home built system. I'm looking at the Best PCIe Card article and seeing the specs for the new gaming cards. Since the 4870 drivers/cards are garbage, I'd like to replace them with better GeForce cards but don't need the super high power (ie $500) cards, just somewhat better replacements for the 4870's.
I'm not doing very heavy gaming but am driving four 22" LCD monitors and would like to go into combined graphics card mode (Crossfire/SLLY(?)) mode from time to time. My gaming is mostly things like Diablo III and StarCraft II type stuff.
I'm trying to compare the 4870 specs with the cards in the review but can't find an equivalent spec table (or even the listed specs). I imagine I can get away with under $200 cards but wanted to compare so I make the right choice.
Thanks.
Carl
