Which GPU for 1900x1200 gaming ?

Recently i bought a BFG GTX 280 which turned out to be dead on arival. Second GTX 280, fresh install, latest drivers on Vista 64, Q9650 @ 4GHz. I was not happy with the microstuttering in Crysis, generally not very happy with it at all, so ultimately sent it back and went with my original decision of a 4870X2. Shopped around and got a brand new Sapphire 4870X2 for £340 inc vat & del :D Again fresh install of Vista 64 and latest 8.12 drivers. I have to say i was totally blown away. It was like the good old days of going from a trio32 to a Voodoo 3dfx! Running Crysis V1.2.1 1920X1200 Ultra High on everything, vsync enabled. buttery smooth and simply staggering on my Dell 24"

If you have the PSU for a 4870X2 i'd highly recommend them

Ahh, well in that case I think I can forgive you... :p

Considering how much the phrase microstuttering has been thrown about lately as this evil phenomonem, people are bound to pick it up as meaning jerky motion in games. Agh well :p

And stop taking about the wonders of your new 4870X2, you're making me want to buy one when I shouldn't. :D
