So, I’ve got a quick question—why is nobody even offering an HD 5970 2GB? I’ve actually got plenty of cash set aside for one... since the 5870 is honestly way too weak for what I need.

cosmicfox31 said:what about the power supply?

The PSU though xD... I'm just gonna grab a new one—probably something around 600W, I guess.

Thomas Hernandez21 said:The NVIDIA GTX 480 is maybe a tiny bit better than the 5870 if you're just going with one card, but man, it's way more expensive... Though I guess you could just grab two 5870s instead.

So, what I'm hearing is—if I run them in Crossfire, I might actually beat an HD5970???

cosmicfox31 said:Maybe try answering these first...

Do you need an AGP or a PCI-E card?
What’s the current—or future—setup looking like, and what kind of power supply are we talking about?
What resolution are you playing at?
How much cash are you actually willing to drop?
Which stores are you looking at?
If there's anything else specific you need, just let us know.

PCI-E
4GB RAM
Intel Core i3 at 2.93GHz
ATI Radeon HD 5450 🙂
$2000Budget is... well, I'll decide when I see it...
Anywhere, I guess.

Thomas Hernandez21 said:Come on—if you've already got the $2000, there's really no point in being cheap. Just grab two NVIDIA GTX 580s, run them in CrossFire, and boom—you're looking at a solid 6000 😁

What about a GTX 480?

So, I'm looking to pick up a GPU for gaming—trying to keep up with all these new releases—so if you guys have any suggestions...

Budget is around $6,000...
