Dilema

[Ste_1]

Morning All

The card I have on order is a Gainward GTX 275 but its out of stock and im far too impatient to wait an unknown number of days for my new PC so can anyone recommend a better or similar card. Must have support for 3 monitors (HDMI and Either VGA or DVI). My Budget is around £180 but if theres a significantly better card around £200 then I dont mind stumping the extra few quid.

Ive had a look but its been a while since I paid any attention to the latest and greatest cards so im not very confident in my choices, call me blissfully ignorant if you will . However these look like they may be ideal candidates;

Gainward HD 4870

Saphire HD 4890


Any thoughts?.

Yea, its going to be for gaming - not necessarily the high end of gaming but I would like to be 'Up to date' as you say mid-level until early summer.

Ill be gaming on my main screen, a 42" samsung. The other 2 are just 17" flat panels. I wont be running those whilst gaming im not hardcore enough!!!! There just for work.

To be honest unless you plan to use all 3 (why would you want to use a 42" TV with 2x 17" monitors ) then stick with the 275

It just looks insane, thats what I like

Well after having a bit of a search of the forums based on your input ive decided to go for the 5770 and then when it comes time to upgrade I may get another to go crossfire but things change so much we'll just see what happens!

I was hoping to use it for Poker multi tabling, just makes life a bit easier having less tables per screen so they are easier to read if im laid in bed! I had the 17's laying around doing nothing so I can't help myself, like a bug to the light lol!!
