I've got $600 to blow on an upgrade for my pc. I want to be able to play battlefield 3 on medium/high settings at triple-wide resolutions. I also want to be able to load the 16k textures in RAGE.
In my latest build I switched to ATI and was running HIS Radeon HD 5850s in crossfire but the heatsink on one died recently and its out of warranty. I've been disappointed with my performance on a single card and in the past year ATI has let me down time and time again with slow driver support.
I'm looking at this card http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX33294
Is it worth it? It's on sale until the end of Monday for $559
Is it really that future proof? Is there a cheaper option that I'm missing that will run all the latest and greatest at max settings in triple wide resolutions(where supported)?
