    Whats a good video card for a 1920x1200 resolution?

    Whats a good video card for a 1920x1200 resolution?

    Currently I am running old AMD HD 5870 and its starting to die on computer considering I've had it for such a long time.

    Games I play currently are:
    CS:Global Offensive
    Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
    Deus Ex: Human Revolution
    Battlefield 3
    Far Cry 3
    The Witcher 2

    Any suggestions to play these games with at least 60fps or more? or at least close to 60fps?

    Do you have a particular budget?
    Gaming: Dual Intel Pentium III Coppermine @ 1400mhz + Blue Orb | Asus CUV266-D | GeForce 2 Ti + ZF700-Cu | 1024mb Crucial PC-133 | Whistler Build 2267
    Media: Dual Intel Drake Xeon @ 600mhz | Intel Marlinspike MS440GX | Matrox G440 | 1024mb Crucial PC-133 @ 166mhz | Windows 2000 Pro

    For the video card? I'm a bit confused >.> I suppose you could just get a 780 and call it a day. What power supply do you have? With a 5870 it may be older/not enough.

    A GTX 760 at around $260 would be pretty good, should really only have "problems" with Far Cry 3 (maxed out) but then again so do most cards.

    EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB
    Asus GeForce GTX 760 2GB
    Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 2GB

    A GTX 770 would be nice and a step up, can push Far Cry 3 and the more demanding games a little further but it's also ~$400

    Zotac GeForce GTX 770 2GB
    Galaxy GeForce GTX 770 2GB
    MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB
    EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB
    Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 2GB

    Yeah, a 760 or 770 might be your best bet. a 780 is overkill by far, unless you jump to 2560x1200 or 2560x1440.

    Yeah I misunderstood your question about budget, I was thinking something else (whole computer)
    But yeah anyway, for video card probably $300 to $550

    I have a Corsair HW1000 Power Supply
