Anything AGP card that is dx9 SM3.0. (skip the x850pro, 9800pro, or fx5900)
Many games like BioShock, Vegas, newer indie games, etc will run fine on a single core P4 cpu, but required SM3.0 video card.

heatlessun is actually giving good discussion info, opinions, and reasons for these hybrid tablets. Too bad there are so many trolls in this thread now.
".......or any other cause beyond the control of EVGA".
Normal environmental conditions are not beyind EVGA control. EVGA is totally in the wrong here.
With chainlinking monitors, so 6 displays is "supported". Or HD6970 with more DP outputs have no issue displaying 6 monitors (the chipset supports it). There was supposely going to be a splitting adapter too, but I dont think it was ever released and neither option is cost effective. Use the...
You should be able to use the onboard GPU, but not always. Adding a regular PCI video card will work fine for a 4th monitor.
You can plug the 3rd monitor into th DP output with a single-link active DP-to-DVI adapter upto 1920x1200.
Example...
Your HD6970 only supports 3 monitors because it only has one DP output. You can only use 2 of the DVD/HDMI outputs at one time.
The HD6970 does support upto 6 monitors, but requires a model with more DP outputs.
You can always add another video card for ~$30, like a HD5450, for more monitors.
Or any living thing imo. How did we even get to a point where the idea of patenting these things is found acceptable by many. The food introductory is a joke and completely monopolized now. Being able to patent self-replicating seeds is crazy.
The entire patent system needs the be thrown out...
Maybe, but the size of the Surface is an important feature and I could not find the specs (size or wieght) of the i5 asus tx300. Leading me to believe it will be too big. And no pen.
Fair price for the formfactor and specs.
Now if only they offered a keyboard with a battery built in to make the device bottom heavy and double the battery life when needed for work.
Sigh, we needed new systems 3 years ago. Your reasoning is weak and could have been used years ago on the PS2.
Gaming has barely evolved at all in the last 5 years. Mostly because the current systems were limited even at their release in 2005/2006.
If you dont mind rebates: HD7850 2GB $140 AR.

Either way, the HD7850 is the best option even if you have to increase our budget a little.
Not sure why you think because its an older model is not good as good as a newer model or if the difference matters much. Only reason I didn't suggest the Earthwatts PSU is because I had an annoying fan clicking noise on two of my units.
500w PC Power and Cooling is a great brand, good price, free dvd burner (if needed), modular, and enough watts for a HD7870 system.
The 600w Corsair is a good buy if you don't need to buy a dvd burner and feel like having a few more watts. $30 after rebate and promo code...
After reading this thread it makes me wonder if I am still a gamer. :(
Even after the retarded ending of Mass Effect 3 that total ruined that best part of the game, the story/universe, ME4 is still my most anticipated game, 8/10? My anticipation level for BioShock Infinite is probably 7/10. I...
+1
The extra cash over the HD7770 gives you double the memory bandwidth,128bit vs 268bit interface, and 640 vs 1024 Stream Processors.

ME3 is definitely worth playing. ME3's Inventory system was nice balance between ME1 and ME2. The gameplay continued to improve onto ME2. And while the chat decisions were a tad weaker the story was good (except the ending, maybe?). It's just a shame the ending was such non sense. I still hope...
There are tablets with intels HD4000 IGP, which runs many games well, but they are expensive. Here is an example: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ATIV-Smart-Pro-700T/dp/B0098O9TRO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1352891249&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+ativ+smart+pc+pro#productDetails
