Hey guys! After the awesome router recommendation from a month or so ago, I decided to ask here for a video card recommendation. Normally, I'd just order straight off of the 'egg, but...
I have to have two dual-link DVI ports. The only 7950's I've found with 2x DVI the 'egg has listed as 1x single, and 2x dual.
I'm looking for something in the $200-$300 range capable of medium-or-better-quality 2x2560x1440 gaming - and it must have 2 dual link DVI ports. I'd also really like it if it was flashable to 7970 specs as I see several can be.
Suggestions?
System Specifications:
I. Processor/CPU: I5 2500k @ 4.8ghz
II. Current Graphics Card: GTX470 (With 2x dual-link DVI!)
III. Display Resolution: 2x2560x1440 (Or 5120x1440?)
IV. Power Supply Unit Specification (Brand, Wattage, Ampage, Age). Antec 650w
V. Case Specifications(N/A, Model, Length, Low Profile, Cooling, HTPC, Water, Silent): Aluminum full tower
Purchase Details:
I. Budget? Please be sure to include currency (If not USD), retailer preferences & specify whether rebates are a viable option. $300
II. Any particular preferences (Manufacturer[nV or AMD], Brand[XFX, Sapphire, EVGA, etc], Cooling Solutions)? AMD, mad preference due to running a higher resolution
III. Do you plan to have any Multi-GPU solutions such as Crossfire or SLI? No
IV. Have you previously looked at a product(s) which you feel would fit your needs? Yeah, 7950 or maybe a really highly discounted 7970 is it - but I NEED 2x dual link DVI
V. What are your needs for this GPU? Which games(If any)do you intend to play? If you have this information at hand, what are the desired detail levels? Medium or higher is fine.
VI. Do you plan on overclocking the card you intend to purchase? Overclocking capability always rocks.
