Graphics New card required..

Hey all,

As per the fun fun thread here http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=264777 my GTX 260 has gone bang (I think)

So.. looking for a replacement card - Don't want to spend more than £200 on one, nVidia preferably. The card that went bang wasn't really a limiting factor to any of the games I played so anything else will be a huge step up for sure.

One thing is that I'd like it to be quiet if that's possible.

Edit :: Has to work in this motherboard http://www.intel.com/Products/Workstation/Motherboards/S5000XVN/S5000XVN-specifications.htm

 

11p over budget but 2GB EVGA GTX 760 ACX. Should be quiet and more than quick enough.

 

7950. 3gb vram massive memory bandwidth.

It'll piddle on a 760 at higher resolutions and it's cheaper.

 

But sadly it's an AMD card no?

 

Lancer - will that do 3 screens (desktop, not gaming)?

It'll be supporting either 2 or 3 Dell 24" screens. (gaming on one)

 

Sadly? it's better, faster and cheaper. Who cares who makes it?

 

Some of the stuff I need requires CUDA support

 

Shame

Mantle's coming pretty soon too.

 

Mantle?

Is the 760 a bit overkill for what I need - would there be something that would be ok at the ~100 price point too?

 

and how would something like this

compare against the other one above?

 

Yep, it'll output up to 4 and downlock to 2D speeds too.

The 660 Ti will be a bit slower I think. The 760 is a clockbumped 670 IIRC. Speaking of, Scan have this MSI GTX 670 on their today only page for £167.99 but it has the stock, blower type heatsink so I'm not sure how quiet it'll be.

 

Hope to have just picked up a 660 from the for sale forum! Let's hope it works

Don't really mind it being a bit slower, as i'm sure it'll be a huge step up from the 280..

thanks for all the help!
