Hello,
As the subject suggests, I'm looking for a card to run on my 1440x900 Samsung monitor, which I'm happy to keep for now.
I've read the suggestions on this thread:
http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2196939
but wondered if things had changed over the past couple months, either in terms of pricing or new cards.
(It's been a long time since I bought parts so I'm a little overwhelmed.)
I'll be building a new system w/ a 2500k, 8mb ram and am trying to figure out which video card will work best. As far as new games to target for performance, I would like to be able to play Skyrim with pretty graphics.
The consensus of that previous thread seemed to be a GTX 560. Would that still be the best bet? It seems like a similarly priced option is a 6870 or (for a little less) a 6850.
I would be happy to have a little bit of "overkill" for that low resolution if that means a little more longevity to the card's usefulness down the road.
Any help sorting out the right card at this less-common resolution would be greatly appreciated.
