Best video card for 1440x900 resolution?

[Bored_Gamer]

Hello,
I would like to know what card is the best for 1440x900 resolution gaming or even 1600x resolution. I want to max all the settings

 

[Xttony]

HD 7850 2GB will be able to handle all games at maximum settings, even crysis 3.

 

[Bored_Gamer]

I want some tips on how to clean a video card properly too.. I cleaned my inno3d gts 450 last night and it is now broken so I am looking for a card that is well sturdy. Thanks for the reply ^^

 

[Xttony]

What did you do? Can you post a recent image of the card?
For beginners use air pressure to clean it or just a brush to remove the dust.

 

[Bored_Gamer]

I used air pump to clean the card, it was not physically damaged though after I was done cleaning my pc I reseated my gts 450 then I plugged in the hdmi connector at the back and there was no display but there is power on the card. I restarted my computer then suddenly there is a display again, when I got to my desktop the card stopped sending signals to my monitor then it sent signals again then no signal after that I got an error saying "display driver stopped etc"

No. Not it cannot.

If you think a 7850 can do Metro 2033, let alone Crysis 3, at maximum settings on anything more than 800 x 600, you are sorely mistaken. You will be frequently under 25fps -- unplayable.

 

[MatildaPersson]

Not even maxed:

Yes to maxout crysis 3 sli or crossfire powerful gpu is must !

I don't think you will *need* SLI of the top tier cards, but it would help.

They recommend a GTX 680 or better for high settings.

 

[ASHISH65]

I heard that there will be no single gpu that will get 60fps at maxout.^ i was talking about 60fps at max.

That's all just speculation and fanboys and girls (like me -- I love Crysis) dreaming and hoping.

All we know for a fact is that they recommend a GTX 680 for high settings.

Yeah they recommend a lot of things, but often they are not true. Only a month till crysis 3 comes out just wait and see. 7850 will Be able to run crysis 3 at max at 900p.

The 7850 won't max Crysis 3 period.

It can't max Metro 2033. It's not going to max Crysis 3.

When they max out they mean atleast on a 1440p screen or an eyefinity setup. This guy wants to game at 900p.
Currently all games are playable on my 4850 at 900p at max settings. Completed black ops 2, assassins creed 3, battlefield 3, at max settings on a full hd display 1080p. Fps always stayed about 40-45 never below 40. And that is playable.
I don't know why the hell you guys want to play every game at over 60fps

No chance in Hell.

Try to run Metro 2033 with every setting maxed and let me know when you get more than 20FPS.

Been there, done that

 

[MatildaPersson]

No. No you have not.

Graphics cards much better than yours, with CPUs no doubt much better than yours, in Crossfire and SLI struggle to keep that game above 50fps. It is currently one of the most GPU demanding games on the market. Your 4850 simply cannot perform that well. This isn't speculation and this isn't open for debate. You are lying now.

 

[MatildaPersson]

This is Crysis 1. Not maxed.

Metro 2033 is significantly more taxing on a GPU than Crysis 1.

You keep saying that to yourself.
Obviously you never had any experience with any old cards because if you had you'd not be talking my ears off.
I didn't play crysis so I can't comment on those results but I have played crysis 2 at high at 1080p and my card handled it fine. Even though the temperatures rose to 120degrees and I played for atleast 4hours with out a BSOD or game crashes.
Then my specs were i7 920 LGA1366, sapphire 4850 512MB, corsair XMS 3 1333MHz overclocked to 1600MHz 3gB in triple channel.

You can't mean fahrenheit, because it would warm up a lot more than that. But you also cannot mean celsius, because GPUs cut themselves off way before that temp or will be destroyed.

Again, you are lying and it shows, because you don't know the hardware.

 

[ASHISH65]

Crysis 2 at 1080p at high with hd 4850 512 vram what a joke ! Haaa

Man read the forums old cards could handle those temperature.

 

[MatildaPersson]

Yes, and this CPU can handle 100*c, it's still going to kill it.

The 1GB HD 4850 only gets 21fps on max settings in Crysis 2 -- a game much less demanding than Metro 2033

It is totally impossible for you to have played Metro 2033 on max settings. Physically impossible.

I played Metro 2033 on Very High with AAA last night and got an average of 50fps (granted, it usually drops to 30fps when I'm on the surface) with my HD 6870. I average 45 in Crysis 2 on Ultra, and around 50 in Crysis 1 on Very High with no MSAA. I agree that there are better cards for 900p, and good luck if you're shooting for 60fps in all games on Ultra with MSAA. The GTX 680 can't even manage that. A more realistic goal would be 45fps in all games with or without MSAA. A GTX 660 or HD 7870 can handle that.

Also, the Crysis 3 Open Beta started today, so fire up Origin and go to Demos and see how it runs for you! Well, provided you have a DX11 card - I think it's exclusively DX11.

Origin? Nooo thank you. At least Steam asks before scanning your computer lol
