So I have a 1080p LCD Sharp Aquos (32 inch)

Right now I just don't have a good enough graphics card to get good frame rates. I have a 7950 GT KO and it seems that it is being strained. I hoping you all could recommend a card that would handle that resolution with some pretty good frame rates. I would like to spend around $400. I was thinking of waiting until the 9800 series cards come out so that the prices on the 8800GTX would drop. Since from what I have seen that the performance seems to be comparable to the 9800GT/GTX, but only a slight edge to the 9800 series, or maybe get two 8800GT and run them in SLI. My main worry is that nothing below a 8800 GTX will run anything at 1920x1080 with no problems. So I am looking at the higher end stuff now. I plan to get this and either a e8400 or a q9450

Do you all have any suggestions?
 
what games are you trying to play??

i would recommend that you hold of on buying any video card untill the 9x00 series refresh finishes and see if ATi is going to release their new hardware.


we have no real benchmarks to prove that the 9x00 series is faster than the 8x00 series, we can only compare the 9600gt to 8800gt but thats barely comparable as nvidia has usually released their top end cards first then their lower mainstream cards. only time will tell.
 
I have an 8800GT. I can play some games pretty well at 1920 x 1200 res. These would be GOW and UT3. Gears of War I have the settings on high. But, enabling AA will slow it down. But, it looks good already withought enabling AA. COD4 tends to show some slowdown at 1920 x 1200. It's better at 1680 x 1050 with setting on med-high. Crysis I can play that at 1440 x 900 with all settings on high. On some occasions, when there is alot of things going on there is slowdown. But, majority of the time it plays well at that Res and setting. What is your current setup now as far as CPU/RAM? An 8800GTS 512 should do pretty good. It is like 10% faster than my 8800GT card and you can get one for $240 such as the BFG one from NewEgg. It is slightly slower than an 8800GTX but, you save over $100+ then getting an 8800GTX.
 
I play alot of CoD 4 and Supreme Commander. I would like to play with pretty much every setting maxed .I currently have e6300 oc'ed to 3ghz 2gb of gskill ddr800 7950gt 500W Enermax Liberty.

I would be getting a Q9450 or E8400 2 more gb of ram, Windows VIsta, and a 700W Corsair PSU
 
I just got a 512MB 8800GTS G92 that has no problem so far with COD4 at 1920x1200. I got the following framerates from Fraps in my first run today:

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
102481, 1206869, 29, 94, 84.915

I don't know how it will fare with any other powerful games such as Supreme Commander, but it seems like it's more than acceptable for COD4.
 
I was running crysis at 1920x1080 on my 3 year old opteron and 8800GT.

I now have an 8800GTS (G92) and it overclocks higher than the GT. I can't max out crysis but a gtx can't either. Aside from that one game, I am very happy with my purchase. I was thinking about going sli since I have an SLI board but I think that would bottleneck the CPU.

GTS seems quite stable (no artifacts) at 780/1050mhz. Need to do more testing though. I am on water so that helps some with tthe core... Mine also has the crappy non samsung memory.
