Which Video Card????
OK I am almost ready to order the components for my new system, just can't decide which video card setup to go with. What I am looking for is something that will run any game out there today, and also is likely to keep up with the newer games coming out.
I am thinking of these three options. First Running two of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102747. Second I was thinking of getting one of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130374 Third I am considering http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150284. My budget is $350-$375, for the specs on the rest of the system go here. $2000 AMD all-around complete rig. Also please recommend a MB for the card please. Thank you for your recommendations. |

I would go with a 4870, and then maybe a 2nd one when the time comes and you need it.

The 4870 still out performs the 260 by about 10%. However, the 280 out performs the 4870 by about 10%. The 9800 GX2 (which is basically two vid cards in one) does about 20-25% better than the 4870.
For the price, it's hard to beat the 4870 at the moment.
