Hey there. I have 2 8800gt's that are running wonderfully. However, I've noticed that with intense shading this card just isn't cutting it(even WoW crawls with shaders turned up). Frame-rates are great at 1900x1200 on my 24" Sceptre, however an opportunity has come up and I'm going to jump on it.
I'm building a system for a friend and he's trying to save money on video cards. He wants SLI and offered to buy my old cards and upgrade me to a single GPU (the difference is my fee to build it). I would've done this for free but he's insisting.
Put it this way, I've got a total of $250 to spend on a new card. I'm planning on pairing it up with another of the same in a few months.
I need a card that will run 1900x1200 on all the biggies, (i.e. Crysis, Far Cry 2, COD:W@W, Mirror's Edge, Counter-Strike, WoW, & Fallout 3), but want this card to be an upgrade in performance from 2 8800gt's.
Any ideas? Suggestions. (SLI or X-Fire doesn't matter)
Here are the specs of my rig:
Xclio A380 case
Enermax Infiniti 720
EVGA x58
Intel i7 920(stock for now)
6 gigs of OCZ Platinum DDR3 Triple Channel
All optical drives are SATA II
X-Fi Fatal1ty Champion Series
Sceptre 24" (non-hdmi) 1080P LCD
