Guest anewb ie Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Which video card do folks recommend for 1080P (1920x1080)? Not sure if 8800gts is good enough or if 8800gtx is needed. I mostly play fp/rts/rpg games (no racing games). Some of the games I like include farcry, titan quest, civ 4, nwn (2), I'm currently playing stalker and debating on suprem. commander. This isn't really a thread about games but rather if the gts (320 or 640) are powerful enough for 1080p or if the gtx is needed. I doubt i'll ever go higher than 1080p - As it is with the 1800xt I have - i play 1600x1200 when the card can have it but i'm not that turned off by 800x600 (this is with the 20inch monitor). With a 42 or 52 inch lcd tv I doubt i'd want to drop back to 1/2 resolution so I'd like the card to be able to handle 1080p fluently... (30-40 fps seem fine).

HITandRUN Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 With that size of a screen you will need memory which only the GTX can give you at the moment! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anewb ie Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I thought the gtx had 640mb as did the 640mb gts ? Also 1080ps is the same dell's 24 inch monitor (not sure why you commented on screen size - or did you mean resolution ?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anospa Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Nope, GTX has 768. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HITandRUN Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I thought you want to run that 42"-50" on it that why I said you need more memory! The GTX has to most memory at this time unless you wait another month or two for the 8950X2 for even more memory! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollietwinam Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 2 x 8800GTS (340) in SLI might be better at that high resolution... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 2 x 8800GTS (340) in SLI might be better at that high resolution... Nope, the GTX takes Sli 320s. The GTS 640 would probably work alright if you don't want a bunch of eyecandy on, but otherwise the GTX is your best choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsamaBinAthlon+ Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I have some struggling with my 8800GTS 640MB 1920x1080 on a 37" westinghouse monitor playing Rainbow Six Vegas. Nothing to write home about though. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814122018 - great deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
