Graphics Card For 1440x900

[TicTac]

Hello all, i'm looking to get a new graphics card for upcoming games like BF3 and just a upgrade in general as my 5770 is falling behind slightly. I am only running one 19 inch monitor and i currently have 1 5770 this seems to run all my games a just about maxed setting, but i want to upgrade to something that will last me awhile. So i was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for an upgrade. I was thinking something along the lines of a GTX570 or 6950 Unlocked to 6970? any suggestions? and im pretty sure a 580 would be overkill ^^

Other specs of your computer please and the budget will help us, help you!

Okey, My specs were on my profile but ill but them here anyways!

i5 2500k@4Ghz

4Gb Hyper-x Blu DDR3 1600MHZ

Sapphire 5770 Vapor-x

OCZ StealthXstream 2 600w

and budget wise well, for a 19 inch monitor i don't think i'm gonna be looking at any of the crazy 580/590s and in a few months prices may go down so i will probably be able to get a decent card for -300£ i wouldn't like to spend much more than £220-£240

also i forgot to mention that i will be going to america in August and i know that i can get stuff slightly cheaper over there and i will probably wait until then to buy anyway.

GTX 560 or GTX 560 Ti - He is only playing on a tiny little monitor.

The 560 ti is enough for your needs, save some money for a new monitor!

no experience with the 560 but the Ti had one loved it as I do my 570HD only reason I said 570 was incase the monitor got upgraded they'd be set already

If its 1280x1024 a 560Ti is about as much as you need to spend. The 570 is good if you plan to get a HD monitor.

hmmmm, well i have a while to decide yet and your right its probably best i get a 570 so that can still play at high setting later on when i decide to get a new monitor!

The 560 Ti should be enough to play most current games at 1080p (other settings not on max) Then save some $$$ and grab a cheap 22" to 24" monitor for cheap. Even the Acer monitors are pretty good these days.

 

[Ya93sin]

Not the Acer's

Good quality monitors are around in greater numbers nowadays though, you're right.

Get a 560Ti and save for a better monitor mate, have a look around sites like Scan or even ebay 23" monitors are dirt cheap £150 - £200 for a good one. From my experience it's hard to go wrong with a Samsung or LG monitor, never had any problems with any of mine over the years.

Thanks for the replys guys, are the Hanns-g monitors any good?

 

[S_I_N]

they've been around awhile now and they seem to be like most of the others good in some areas bad in others but overall decent for the $$ spent

Damn good deal on eBay right now, AOC 22" 1080p monitor for under £100 delivered. I bought my HKC 22" 1080p monitor from them and got great service too.
