Hi.

At what res and in-game settings ?

The 1G will hold the card back with the latest games.

my resolution is 1600*900 but i will soon upgrade to 1900*1080

Ok, like i said, the 1G VRam will be a bit of a problem to play at high/ultra settings.

It is a great gaming card and it will serve you well, but they are not really coming down in price as the other older cards are, what is your budget and where are you buying ?

I use a Sapphire HD 6870 and I can assure you that is an excellent card. In 1600x900 (where I play too) will play at the max most games, but in 30-40 fps, so in 1900x1080 you will need to lower a bit the details.

As much as it makes my sad, I would suggest you to buy a stronger card if you can afford it, better one of these (in order form the best to worst): HD 7870, GTX 660, HD 7850, hell even a 560Ti is more suitable for 1080p gaming.

That being said, if you cannot afford on of the above, HD 6870 (or GTX 560, they are practically the same) will serve you well for a good time.
