If you want to play the most intensive games like Crysis or Metro 2033 or some intensive upcoming games of the near future, especially with AA (and often without AA) you will need a 6850 or above even at that resolution. Though even your CPU isn’t the best, but just okay.
I would go with the 6850 if I were you, the 6870 isn’t worth it due to the extra price esp at your rez and with your CPU.
So you’re saying he wont be able to play Crysis @ 60 FPS in 1366 x 768 and the reason why you suggest him 6870 ?
Have you read some review on the 6870 and what that thing is capable of ? If you cared to read the review on my first post. 5670 is clearly driving Crysis at 45 FPS. I don’t want to be rude bro but you’re post is complete bs.
So now you’re backing up your statement that OP should buy 6870 while he games at 1366 x 768 . 5770 is like complete sweet spot but a little OK , 5670 is like something that can drive everything except crysis @ 60 FPS which is totally unnecessary.
Why do keep insisting on 60 FPS? let alone on Crysis. I’d be happy with 45 FPS avg.
I can’t believe how you could suggest a 6870 for a 1366 x 768 reso and you constantly keep saying you’re right .
You’re quite right about the 5770! But very wrong about the 6870. The aim here is not getting 60 FPS in crysis. It’s playable Frame rates 45 FPS avg on all games.
Do you want to join along with your friend here and suggest a 6870 for the OP ?
@ rite
Therefore, you think he should buy a card that is priced almost twice of what people are recommending just so he can play one game (fine, two if you count Metro) @ 60fps ??
RIP your LOGIC
EDIT-
I’m playing almost every game at 1440*900 High and getting 45fps+ on my old 8800GT and I’m more than satisfied. Why on earth would you want this guy to over spend just to touch 60 :huh:?
And this is how it will be until more powerful consoles come out. Most games nowadays are built for consoles and then PC, hence the graphic demand on graphics card won’t slowly increase as much as it did in the past.
