CoD4 @ 1920x1200.

[BoomAM]

Hi.

I was at Omega Sektor last night playing CoD4 over the LAN with a load of mates. Was a great laugh.
So much so that i want to get it for my PC.

My main monitors are both 1920x1200 jobbos, so i'll be needed a video card capable of that, but i havnt read up on video cards for years so ive no idea whats what now.

Rest of spec that matters for games is a Q6600 & 4Gb ram.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance all. .

Got a budget?

Nope. .
Whatever it takes. . .

The 4870 looks a steal at that price. Why is it so cheap?
What the equilivent nVidia card?

Forgot, ive got a Corsair HX620W PSU. If that makes a difference to the card choice.
And its gotta be quiet.

"Why is it so cheap?"

It's not cheap, it's £180 quid odd. People have been getting mugged off by nVidia for a few years so think its normal to pay £400-£500 for fantastic tech!

Luckily this has changed now thanks to ATI!

I think it was taken out of context.

Compared to the equilivent nVidia card, depending where you look, its upto £100 cheaper.
Just seems odd.


Looks like the 4870 is the one to go for then.

512Mb or 1Gb...?

512MB The GDDR5 handles that res really easily. Only if you game at higher than 1920 might the odd situation arise where 512mb isn't enough (I have only seen that in 1 test, in 1 game with absolute maximum settings at 2500 res).

Apart from the amount, the 1Gb is the same as the 512Mb isnt it?
If so, theres only £30 in it...
