DEAR OVERCLOCKERS COMMUNITY,

Thanks for helping me pick a GFX Card

Recently upgraded my rig from a Intel Pentium 1 Core processor with 2 Gb's of RAM and 2x 6800's in SLI, to a i5-2500k build with a GTX 480.

The difference is absolutely staggering.
I was struggling to play CoD series games on 1024x720 on lowest settings.


Now I am rocking super maxed settings obviously ON 1920 X 1080

Life is good :)

Personally I think bigger is better. If I could afford to replace my 26" with a 30" Dell I would do so. I agree at higher resolutions you may not be able to play some games (Crysis 2 etc) but I mostly play COD which doesn't require allot of juice.

I wanted a 30" but just could not fit it into my budget :).
However I was used to playing on 1024x resolution on my old computer so a 1920 is just staggering to me.
