Need advice on video card.

[Fastx]

Hi guys I am looking for a video for around $100.00+/- so what would you guys recommend. The one I am looking and thinking about getting is the one in the link below.

Any opinions on this card good or bad and any others you recommend that might be better or similar, with a longer warranty?

I am now also looking at this one because of the warranty but read a few reviews on Newegg of some saying they are seeing high temps on thier cards.

I think there are some 5770's for sale in the FS/FT forum that are under $100 if you are willing to shop there. The 5750 should be easily overclockable to 5770 levels if you are willing to do that though.

Not looking to overclock and want to go brand new to avoid any problems but thanks for the suggestion.

Well, that card would be a good choice. Also, a GTS450 would work well too, and this one is $89.99 after rebate and should perform in the same ballpark as the 5750 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125342

Thats the best deal out there around 100$, it's slightly faster then the 5750.

Here is a Evga gts450 for the same price.

The 5750s, or 5770s if you find them priced right, are about your only options then.

However just so you know you can't use all four outputs at once on the HD 5750. You can only use two of the DVI+HDMI at a time. You can use the Displayport at anytime in any configuration, but just think of one of the HDMI and one of the DVI outs as being "shared".

Are you gonna use all 4 at once? You can't. You can only use 3 on the 5750 also.

The only card that does 4 displays (that I know of ) is the Gtx460 Zotac.

I will not be using all 4 ports at once, I will just be running the 2 monitors on DVI and one changed to HDMI when needed. But thanks I didn’t know the HDMI shares a DVI port.


My two monitors will be connected to DVI ports so I a prefer a card with dual DVI ports for them, I want HDMI port for HD/BD movies when needed and will switch over one of the monitors to HDMI. Not looking to go with an adapter for a VGA port for one of the DVI monitors I want both monitors on DVI cables to DVI ports on the card. I want the display port for down the road should I need it.

Now if I missing something or I am incorrect on the above let me know.
