Awesome gfx needed :P

[klasvaakie]

Having been out of the loop with what is a good card what is not...I am asking you guys here...I have roughly 7k to buy said gfx card...what would be nice in this price range?

 

[Keeper]

GTX 480
ATI HD5890 ?

I would personally get the ati though...

 

[klasvaakie]

lol...never used an ati card before...anyhow, I have a special nvidia issue windows

 

[cerebus]

Well seeing as there is no 5890 :erm: I'd get a 5970.

How good is your PSU? Nvidia cards this gen are hot, loud and power hungry.

 

[Keeper]

a little over budget but a solid card overall link

 

[klasvaakie]

got 1000 watt psu

5970

Awesum...comes with a legal copy of halflife1

 

[Keeper]

have you thought about sli'ing or x-firing two cards? with a 1000W PSU why not?

Two 5850s would do very nicely

+1

 

[Keeper]

would those beat a 5970?

 

[Archer]

They should yes. 2 5850s scale better, and can overclock better

 

[Chevron]

For 7k Take two 5850s.

 

[LiengLiengZA]

what screen you running?

 

[mass09]

Nice 5970 here.
