[SOLVED] New PC...
Hey guys, i am getting a new desktop pc soon. Its a Dell XPS 8300 and i want some help on getting a graphics card.
This graphics card needs to: Be able to run 2/3 or more screens, be able to run games at a good standard e.g. LFS and F1 2011 The standard one it comes with is a NVIDIA® GeForce GT 545 1GB DDR5. Some of the other ones that can be fitted by dell for me are: AMD Radeon™ HD 6870 1GB DDR5, NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1.25GB GDDR5, AMD Radeon™ HD 6770 1GB DDR5. So my main question was, what one would be the best one to have ? |

6870.
I would do even a 6950 and install it yourself |

Eyefinity runs up to 6 I think.
You don't need much to run LFS (trust me, Gt 240 at max settings with various graphics mods and still 100fps), so you can expect quite great performance from a 6870. NVIDIA cards only handle 2 monitors apart from the GTX 590, which handles 3. If I were you, I would get the cheapest card from Dell and install a 2gb 6870 or 6950 if you plan on a trimonitor setup. |
