Hello
I was wondering what the best graphics card for this build would be that is under $200 Australian dollars. If possible 3 or 4gb graphics card, whichever is best for duel monitor setup, and could there also be an AMD and Nvidia option. https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/
Thanks.
Did anyone check out this router?

I know a GDDR5 memory is usually faster than GDDR3, it improves memory bandwidth.
BUT
Does GDDR3 & GDDR5 Memory have anything to do with the pixel/texture units?
IMO, a higher pixel/texture fillrate with GDDR3 would out perform a lower fillrate equipped with GDDR5, am I right?

Based on the benchmarks from the site and WoW favoring nvidia it says that the 560 ti is better and i can get it for about $50 cheaper from a buddy but i'm wondering if the results are still viable after the driver updates from amd and such.
