Gud gpu for 1280*1024

[ch0rus123]

Hellow ppl...

I just wanted 2 ask that which gpu is gud enough 2 handle all modern and upcoming titles including metro 2033 and BFBC3...
The resolution is 1280*1024...

CPU is i3-2100...psu is gud enough 2 handle any gpu ever made!!! Ram is 4gb...

All advice will b very appreciated thnx...

P.S...No advice about changing monitor is required res is 1280*1024 FIXED!!

With a unlocked cpu it can be countered by stucking a decent cooler on the cpu then overclock it till its running like its suppose to. But on a locked one that will be a bit difficult.
You might as well stuck a 9800Gt or a 5670/6570 in there which runs that resolution and a bit higher without problems.

The big problem is that those cards aren't even a good value; the value curve maximizes around the 6850/70 or even the 6950 depending on what price you can get it for and what game/resolution you run. The first reply you got at the very beginning summed it all up, I don't know why we're still here.

Yes it maximizes around the 6950/6870 but will you be seeing value for your money on 1280? I mean you will be limiting your 200usd card to run below 60fps with first of with Vsync. That you can get with a 100usd card

That you can get with a 100usd card

No, you certainly can't. That's the whole point. If we refer to the original post:

we must conclude that $100 won't cut it, not by a long shot.

Your forgetting one equation. Your LCD. Remember LCD screens don't have a refresh rate they just emulate one to be compatible with your gpu. LCDs really don't have a refresh rate they just emulate one because your gpu still works by using its framed buffers and then sending it to the LCD then its ready. Which means if your LCD and gpu are not in sync the frames will overlap each other and you will start to see horrible ghosting and such things. Gpu running at what 120fps plus when the LCD have a limitation of only to receive 60? You'll have no choice but to limit your card to run slower at what's it capable of. Now if you get a gpu to power your monitor and not your ego (not directed at you its just a saying) which you don't need to limit which will run around the same frame rate as the more expensive card without fiddling with Vsync which can cut your frame rate in half giving you 30fps and asking what's wrong.
We are not using CRTs anymore we use LCDs and they got thrown into the mix as well which a person have to consider.

OP if you planning a resolution upgrade in the near future then go for it. If not buy a gpu to power your monitor. Not trying to be a knob just don't like seeing people waste their money

Okay guyz so my next upgrade WILL b a monitor...Ill buy the Asus 6850 and then next month ill buy a hd monitor...gud enough???

The i3-2100 will not bottleneck a HD 6770, a i3-2100 @ 3.2Ghz = Phenom II 955 @ 3.7Ghz.

My question was that will the i3-2100 bottleneck the ASUS 6850 at 1280*1024...all advice is much appreciated

 

[yummerzzz]

No, it will not.
