I want to get a new GPU and AMD has the best price/performance from where I am.
Because my system with 2 monitors idles most of the time, it concerns me that AMD cards use more than double power while idle in multi monitor scenario. Has this been addressed?
Since I own gtx 460 now, I have gotten used to no crashes, blue screens and other problems. Is this something I can expect to continue with a new AMD GPU (as opposed to 4850 driver era)?
I'm considering 270x, 7950 and 280x. So far I'm liking 7950 most for its price/performance, but I am open to suggestions. I particularly like 3gb vram as besides gaming I GPU render in 3ds Max (quicksilver).
