You should have posted this in the basement, there are guy's there that will be more able to help you.

Edit: Here is the Link

Oh Ishan the brave is here he will answer you

What's your native resolution? Greater the resolution, the more powerful the card it needs...

Moved to the basement.

[Zerosliver]

Ishan is correct, plus we need your budget.

General advice tends to go to the NVidia Gtx 560 ti 448 core edition.
Or the slightly less powerful normal GTX 560 ti / AMD HD 6950 2gb.

[Darkpriest667]

the literal best graphics card on the market today as far as performance is the 7970 by AMD


Nvidia is supposed to release their kepler line sometime before June (some say march some say april some say 2nd to never) and it MAY or may not take the top spot.

If we have your budget we could recommend something that fits your budget.

Wait till Nvidia's Kepler comes out. Should be soon enough.

[Totalheadache]

and investing in an aftermarket cooler n ocing cpu adds more fps...well worth doing with v little risk if done sensibly.

[snuggans]

wait a week or two and get the radeon 7870. cheaper than the 7950 by $100 and yet it's benchmarking nearly the same FPS. there's some odd texture optimization and crashing but it should be fixed by later drivers.

or wait a bit longer than that and see what nvidia's 600 series offers.

Yes overclock your i7 920 makes a big difference on TW games and ...it's easy. If I can do it, you can do it.

Especially on older games like RTW, M2TW as they utilize only one core.

£800 For the best one IMO.

sorry that I posted this here i'm not familiar with the forums so I go to which I read.."questions". I think me can spend $600 USD below,, : D because in gtx me get some issues in games
the one that will stop my headache..worth while...
Nvidia's Kepler ? how much it would be,,, thinking about gtx560 @bestbuy i didn't bought it i'm outside usa right now..thanks anyways for suggestions for $600 covered worthy graphic cards future

[Darkpriest667]

get the AMD 7850 its a beast of a card and if you overclock it the potential just goes up. If you want Nvidia wait until june.

? you know something we dont...and unless it's known facts dont bother.

also whats the point of telling him to get the 7850 when we still are waiting for the guys resolution...

If rumours are correct then it's within the next month.

The 680 GTX will be around $649 and might be as much as 45% faster than the 7970.

[Zerosliver]

HD 7850 seems to be around a 6970 in most benchmarks, but at some resolutions it seems to get beaten by even a regular 560 ti / hd 6950, very weird. I wouldn't recommend it, the 7870 seems a very solid card though.

[Darkpriest667]

Zero it overclocks to the performance of a GTX580. Thats on a standard overclock nothing special no crazy voltages and on stock air cooling.


That's why I recommended it.

[Zerosliver]

I'm aware of that, I'm simply saying it behaves, rather.. strange. But they are only benchmarks, not to be taken 100% seriously anyway.

[Crazyeyesreaper]

yea that 45% is a straight up lie lol

680 is 45-55% faster then a GTX 580
