What setup for 24" at 1920x1200

[kbaird]

Thanks.

Thinking about EVGA x58.
What do you think of it?

The only stats I have seen group
all of the 260's and 280's together.

How much better would these be?

gtx 260 core 216 sc
gtx 280
gtx 280 sc
gtx 280 ftw

I want to have the option to add
a second in about six months.
How would they be at x 2?
and is 260 x 2 <=> 280 x 1?

Dude, two 260s would totally kill a 280.

Two GTX 260's beat a GTX 280..

But May I recommend the GTX 260 Core 216 over any GTX 260 or an HD 4870

Thanks.

Only been looking at this
stuff for a couple of weeks.

If I go with 260 I will get Core 216 SC.
Is one 260 core 216 plenty for my setup?

How much would difference would there
be between 2 x 260's and 2 x 280's?

( 24" at 1920x1200 )

2 260's are slower than 2 280's

Two GTX 260's Core 216's are nearly equal to 280's but is a good bit cheaper...

AND PLEASE DO NOT BUY SUPERCLOCKED CARDS... OC THEM YOURSELF FOR FREE!!

Do you already have the listed system up and running? If that's the case, your current gtx 260 is fine. If you're looking to buy a new card, that's different.

Also, do you have a 24" screen, or looking to get one?

My 260 SSC(paid for vanilla )runs everything maxxed out in wow at 1920x1200 just great. I have SLI disabled until i rebuild and get back on vista. Dual monitor support on SLI is only available in vista.

 

[kbaird]

Thanks for the info.

Running system with monitor.

Trying clocking, have thread in oc forum.

So the 260 should be fine for 24", Ok

Did a 1024x768 crysis gpu test and
it said 44-48 fps, is that to low?
It does seem a little choppy.

 

[Druid]

Don't some console games run at like 30fps? Fps in the 40s should be good.

Crysis really is a terrible game to use for benching. Even tri-sli doesnt like that game. It was poorly coded and optimized for crap. theres a reason that warhead uses a different engine.
