Card for 1280x1024

[blackninja]

I need 3 graphics cards for 3 PCs for 1280x1024 res, to be paired with Intel E5200 cpu clocked @ 3.5GHz .. this is for the kids primarily but they will also do duty for BC2 and L4D2 amongst others for when I have visitors ...

I am thinking maybe 3 of these will be fine:

Or second hand 1GB 5770s ??


What are the Pro's/Cons ??? Used card price compared to new, warranty, reliability, power consumption, noise, longevity ... etc!

If you don't mind 2nd hand, you can get GTX260 216 for around £60 and save yourself some money, which will run even Crysis at 1280x1024 no AA with minimum frame rate at just above 25fps.

5770 1GB on the other hand still going for around £80...for that price you might as well buy a GTX460 768MB new at £115...

3 GTX 460s on their way as we speak ... all things considered I reckon these will do for a few years ..
