New GFX card for two 144Hz monitors

[my_dk]

I have just ordered 2 new BenQ XL2411Z 144Hz monitors and therefore I probably need to change my gfx too. So what card should i buy to make sure that i gets the full out of my 2 new monitors?

I'm thinking about at GTX 960 or 970, but i'm not sure if the 970 will be overkill or there are other alternatives out there?

My system is powered by a i7 920 2,67 GHz, will this be a bottleneck?

What is your current GPU? Both of those will be run the two monitors without issue. As for the i7 920, it's still a decent CPU regardless of it being older so you won't have to worry much about bottlenecking.

Also the R9 290 can be a alternative, it really depends which brand you prefer.

Hello again.

Glad to hear that the CPU isn't that bad afterall. I have always been an NVIDIA guy so therefore im thinking more about buying those cards. But it is a jungle out there with the different brands and overclocked versions of the cards - and besides that there seems to be a problem with the new GTX 970 so do I dare to even considering buying this card?

Yeah, the GTX 970 is actually having some memory issues at the moment. Also no ones mentioned if a driver will even be able to fix it. It might be a safer bet to go for the 960 instead. It's cheaper and it's not like it's far behind from the 970, you'll have less GPixel/s etc but it's not like you won't be able to play good games on good settings.
