Which Cards??

[SaTTRyN]

Hey chaps, I just bought this MoBo dp55kg with processor and stuff.
Read on Intels site that I can use the x8 PCi slot for another GPU card.

Which 2 cards will be best for this seeing as I want more than 1 screen.

FYI nVidia cards preffered

Most cards can support dual monitors....

What's your native resolution? You buy cards that can power your monitor.
1080p and just under the Gtx 560Ti would be the best choice. For 1080p and above you can look at the Gtx 570.

On Amd side you can look at the 6870 for 1080p and below. The 6950 for 1080p and up but with lower detail.

If your planning on multiple screens with a high resolutions and looking for a 2 card setup then the 6950 would be your best bet as the Amd cards scale better at higher resolutions than their nvidia counterparts. Especially if you decide one day to add a third monitor running 5760 x 1080/1200.

But if your planning on playing 3D then get the 570 or 580 as 3D can cut your fps in half

What cpu do you have?

Hey its a i5, with 8 gb ram.


6950 x2 for 3 screens, but this MoBo only has 1 PCi x16 slot.
How would I go about that?

The two slots would work at x8 if you use dual GPU's afaik
