Spec me a video card for my 27.5" LCD!
Wasn't sure which forum to post this one in... since my question isn't related to ATI or Nvidia directly.
I have just ordered a 27.5" LCD and I currently have a Powercolor x1950 Pro 512MB which I can see needs urgently replacing! What would you guys/gals recommend I upgrade too, I play FPS games and RPG's.
System is:
e6600
Gigabyte DS3P rev 3.3
4GB RAM
27.5" LCD
580w psu
Cheers

I would recommend Nvidia 8800 GTS 640 or GTX, you dont want an 8600 with 512MB or 128 bit for hi res monitors.

I dunno what to recommend really, just something with a fair bit of power should do it.
Even though you didn't know what forum to post this in, why did you choose audio discussion?
why not hardware discussion and support?

i would hope the 27" is 1920x1080 at the very least..
either way, a 8800 or 2900 should do quite well... definitely won't want any of the more budget models if your playing games..

It's a Viewsonic VX2835WM - 1920x1200 resolution

I cant work out if a ATI X2900XT 512MB or a 8800GTS 640MB would suit be better. |

Given the choice of those two, 8800GTS without a doubt.
