which card to run 24" LCD ?

bear2790 · Aug 31, 2011

My current PC hardware is posted in my signature. I'm thinking of buying a 24" wide screen 2ms LCD display. Native res is 1920 x 1200

I get 35fps minimum with the 460GTX 1GB and 19" Trinitron CRT (1600 x 1200 res) and want to keep or improve fps with the 24" LCD

I have a Crossfire mobo and am willing to install two ATI cards, or one nVidia (480GTX ?)

What card do you recommend ?

Well, it depends on the games you play and the willingness to drop settings like texture details etc.

The 460GTX should run 1900*1200 just fine in most games, and the real hogs would just need to have the settings tweaked a bit.. Don't expect to run Crysis 2 with everything turned to max

..

You will see a drop if you just change your games from 1600*1200 to 1900*1200 without tweaking anything.

I don't have time to check exact prices, but if you want Nvidia go 560ti..

If I were you I would just get another 460GTX if you aren't satisfied with the performance on the new monitor.
I am a bit worried about that PSU, is 550W enough?

EDIT: I see there is no SLI option, sorry about that. Maybe 2xHD6870.

I think it is fine to play most games about the performace on your screen with the 460GTX. If you want to improve your quality, I suggest to change your power too for another card

going LCD/LED will save you some GPU cycles as they are locked at lower Hz, so maybe your card doesn't sweat with the higher resolution... no so sure, but...

Get the GTX 570.

I have a 1900x1200 screen, and my HD 6950 2GB handles it just fine. Crysis 2 had to be tuned down, but don't think that game is representative of most games. It is a not well programmed pig.

Everything else (Deus Ex Human Revolution, Just Cause 2, Mass Effect 2, etc) work just fine.

I had a mutli-card setup once and it is cool. But don't think you need to drive that monitor. One good card like a 6950, 6970, 560 ti, or 570 should do.

Also, I don't know that the 460 can't handle it. I would try it out for a while and then decide if you need a new card.

I say a new CPU and 6970 or 570

GTX 570 will do even the 6950 or 6970 also great cards it mostly depends on your taste on drivers.

Sell your GTX 460 and Go for GTX 570!
