Recommend me a GPU please

[sageislam]

I saw a graphic card which looks really good for the price:

Sapphire HD 5830 XTREME 1GB GDDR5 under £85.

Can someone recommend me a similar Nvidia GPU for around similar price too.

I mainly wanna use the graphic card for Photoshop CS5, After effects and other video editing. The games i will play will be things like Starcraft 2 and command & conquer.

All help appreciated.

I'm not a photoshop user, but in games that's a superb card for the price. To get the same level of performance with Nvidia you'd have to get a 460 or 550ti which will definitely cost you more.

Yeah, I think if you want to match that 5830 with an nVidia card you're looking at a 460 768mb.

Will the 5830 support upto 3 monitors like it says?

6870 for 130 quid!

U will have to google tho as its not here ;(

Yea it would, but you need to check to make sure you got all the right connections and the right way to do it.

But barely it mind that while it will "support" up to 3 monitors, the card itself won't be powerful enough for Eyefinity gaming.

Google it, other companies are giving away the 5850 at the same price as a special too.
