what card can....

[-=ABUSIVE-69=-]

...play CSS, HL2, DOD:S, ect... at MAX detail at 2304x1440 with good frame rates? (pci express 16x, no sli, as cheap as posable)

i would say a x1800xt or 7900gt overclocked would be able to pull it off.

thas one hell of a resolution, id say a 7900gtx sli or 1900xtx crossifre with a nice comp to go with it... that would be pretty taxing

Yeah, I agree. Perhaps an x1800xt 512 would be an alternative to that, though I'd need to look up some reviews to check.

how would a 6800 ultra overclocked do?

Why are you buying a 15k HDD? Those drives are optimized for multi-user environments, the most "economical" high-RPM drive is the 150GB Raptor. And why only 1GB of DDR2? 2GB is the sweet spot for games these days...

I say 7900GT / x1800xt 512 BARE minimum.

are you sure. can't he play with a single 7900 gtx? the 7900gtx is pretty powerful as long as you disable most eye candy.

im just going to get a 6800 ultra now because i got a good deal on ebay. i dont need to play games at native res i guess. i will wait for DX10 cards to spend $500+ on a top-of-the-line card
