Hi folks, Presently I'm using two 8600 in SLI which coped with most tasks. Now I've got a 26 inch monitor with a native 1900X1200 resolution and they just do not cut it. I need to upgrade but am kind of stuck. I've got about £150 to blow on a graphics card and the new 4770s look pretty good. However, I will not be able to run two of these card later if I want to. Any advice on what to go for in this price range? Cheers!
With that budget I myself would get a GTX260 (216 core version). But what is the rest of your rig like? You might get more of a boost changing MB and getting lesser gfx card and applying a nice OC to the CPU. Welcome to the forum BTW. Oh, also whats you PSU? Gonna need a beefy one for the gtx260.
I presently have: Quad core Q6600 @2.4Ghz Asus P5N32-E SLI+ MB 2*Geforce 8600 in sli ATX - 600w Xpower PSU 4gb CrucialBallistix memory Xp installed although I also have Vista I'm too lazy to install if it is any better. My monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster 2693 (my baby) and this is why I'm thinking graphics may be the stumbling block as many games flicer unless the res is down a few notches from the 1900X1200. I'm unsure about what graphics to go for as I'm out of date with such things. Cheers
