Best GPU for games

[jdigital1983]

What is the best gpu or gpu's when it comes to playing games?

 

[boudy]

GTX 295 is the best performance in a single card, for now.

Very loaded question.

Depends on your definition of "best". Best could be based on actual highest FPS, and could also include a certain budget range, etc.

The big question is, what are your system specs, and gaming resolution?

i use 2x gtx 260s and its close to 1 295 and like 250 bucks cheaper.

money was not the question. I just wanted to know what you at toms thought is the best gpu unit. ( speed, quality, fps ect.) thanks

And the award for Laziest 'can't find Google person' with the most money to blow goes to!!

You may as well flush a grand down the toilet if you are gonna get a 295 in that system with that res.

 

[jdigital1983]

never said I was going to get a new gpu.
google's great for bullshit searching, but when you want real advice from people who use them and have opinions on there performance it's better to come here.

Why are you even on tom's if your not here to help people?
hey I can bash you all day about your system compared to my new one I just built but thats not why im here.

Thanks for the help

BULLLLL ***....i google all day long and thats where i found countless threads and posts and benchmarks to make the decision on my 260 GTX....you seriously mistaken if you couldn't find it in google....not to mention that half the people here just talk out of there ass...

Any user opinions and reviews can be found via google...you are indeed lazy...or unable to google for it lol...

 

[rewindlabs]

Someone is seriously making up for something aren't they?....like those guys that drive hummers....and other large suv's....

 

[hunter315]

Wow, him posting his setup and the price definitely identified the source of all of the questions. That thing totally isnt worth $4500, get some skills and build it yourself next time around and save a couple grand. Also if you have any more questions Google is your friend

thanks go to mousemonkey on the link

Performance: GTX 295
Quality: I would have to say 4870X2

not to mention that half the people here just talk out of there ass...

[jdigital1983]

[rewindlabs]

The fact your using that word just cements out statements one step further....haters isn't a white word....thus you just lost all hope...
