I am still pleased with my 21" Sony CRT, but that thing consumes about 150W - which is too much in the long run. So I got lucky today and bought a 24" Iiyama TFT for 200 Euros today.
My fear is, that my graphics card isn´t going to cut it - I mostly gamed in 1280 and 1600 so far. The rest of my system should be finde, but any comments are appreciated.
General questions:
1. Will the rest of my system be enough to not slow down the new graphics card too much?
2. Will my Power Supply be good enough?
3. Is the card I am thinking about the right choice?
My system right now is an E4300@3,1GHz&TuniqTower120 and stock voltage, a 650i SLI board, 2 GB DDR2-800 4-4-4-12, 2 x 250 GB HDDs 16/7200 and a 8800 GTS 640 MB @ 620/980 for Crysis, otherwise running at stock speed. PSU is a Thermaltake Toughpower 600.
I am thinking about a Radeon 4870 - seems the best deal for me right now and should habe enough juice for 1920!? I also though aboud adding a second 8800 GTS 640 and go SLI since they are so cheap right now - but I guess that would be inferior to the 4870?
Thanks in advance for your advice guys!
