Jewstinian Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Since I saw some discussion of graphics cards in the other forums, I might as well make this topic. What video card are you rocking at the moment, and what do you plan on rocking with? I personally cannot wait until I can get my GTX 660 TI. It's been delayed so I have to wait a week or two until I receive it. Post away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKON8ERISBACK Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) NVIDIA GTX 560 manufactured by EVGA. The specs for the rest of my rig if anyone is interested is in my signature. I'm lucky enough to have a motherboard and physical sound driver hardware that works very well with it and manages to run all my Grand Theft Auto games maxed out with no framerate decline whatsoever. Yes, this includes Grand Theft Auto IV, which in case you didn't know, is a HUGE accomplishment.

Zxirius. Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I'm on a laptop, and it's running with an ATi Mobility Radeon HD 5870. It runs pretty much everything I throw at it since this laptop also has an i7 on board. This is my first gaming laptop. I was all about desktops up until I had to leave for college, so I had to invest into something a bit more mobile with enough power to run most games on higher settings. So far I have not been disappointed and I've owned it for over two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 GTX470. Actually, not anymore, since it died. I had to borrow a 9800GT from my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoumaker Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Sold my powercolor 7970 a few days ago because of minor issues. Im currently using a Laptop and it uses the AMD 6770M, Its runs all games on high in 1366x768 resolution but struggles when it is increased to Full HD. Ill be getting the 8970 when it is released (or what is equivalent to it) for my new rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friendly luggage Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I've been running this bad boy now for a while. It has great 1080p performance and should keep me happy for another couple of years. Max Payne 3 is the best looking game I've run on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anus Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 NVIDIA GTX 560 manufactured by EVGA. The specs for the rest of my rig if anyone is interested is in my signature. I'm lucky enough to have a motherboard and physical sound driver hardware that works very well with it and manages to run all my Grand Theft Auto games maxed out with no framerate decline whatsoever. Yes, this includes Grand Theft Auto IV, which in case you didn't know, is a HUGE accomplishment. When you said you play all your Grand Theft Auto games maxed out I was assuming you mean every Grand Theft Auto except for Grand Theft Auto IV, but that is quite an accomplishment. I mean Grand Theft Auto IV is much more demanding than Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto 2, Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 and Grand Theft Auto 1. The downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV might be as demanding though, but the original Grand Theft Auto IV is already demanding enough as it is. Did you buy the PC to max out Grand Theft Auto IV? Or did you intend to max out other Grand Theft Auto games as well? Maybe you wanted to get a PC that could max out the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V?

EvilEmperorZoRG Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Diammond Radeon 4890 1gb DDR5 256bit {MAIN PC} GeForce Gainward 430 GT 1gb DDR3 128bit and laptop gpu GeForce 540M GT 2gb DDR3 256bit All work as they're expected to work. Bad thing from AMD that dropped support for such a good series of cards {HD 3000 HD 4000}. These cards, especially 4890 and 4870x2, can still handle most games on high/ultra on at least 1440x900 which is my native resolution. Battlefield 3 runs on Ultra/High with stable 30-60 fps. Never bellow 28!!! And now the drivers will hold me back. Well done AMD. And to think that Nvidia still support GeForce 6200!!! Even for Windows 8.

WHAT!? Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I've got a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 570 It plays anything I throw at it cranked up to max settings. I would like a little more performance when it comes to ENB for GTA IV. I have some pretty nice settings, but I would like to bring the resolution up a bit higher for the AA. I plan to get another 570 and run 'em in SLI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since youre replacing it in the next few weeks or so Are you sure you dont want to wait until next gen card come out? They should be announced soon. Yeah, I agree. These are some really nice gaming cards! Glad to see both Radeon and GTX are getting a fair share in the market. I actually read a survey a while back on people's graphics cards. Here's the answers from Steam: You can get the full list here if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cursed Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 An AMD Radeon 7870 since I had to RMA my 6870. Very impressed with it. The 2GB VRAM means I can completely max GTA IV out at 1080p with 800MB memory spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can do hybrid PhysX. It's only for those who has a AMD as their primary card and Nvidia as secondary for PhysX.

Finn 7 five 11 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 GTX 550Ti (i was so wrong that i had replaced it with my GTX480 ) Well he's banned now so I might just say...What a dumbass hahaha. Well right now I am on a laptop, Radeon 6770m, doesn't run most games I throw at it. When I do bother to get a proper rig i'll definitely be getting something with the 80 suffix (680-780-880). Yeah It might be a while before I bother building a rig, I really want to, but cost vs time used = Money wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sivispacem Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Since youre replacing it in the next few weeks or so Are you sure you dont want to wait until next gen card come out? They should be announced soon. Just spotted this. March 2013 announcement estimate for the 7xx series cards from NVidia, actual releases in the autumn and mid-top-end cards that aren't ~£500 by the end of the year. That's quite a while to wait for an uncertain product when the GTX670 in Asus or Zotac guise slays every single-card reference/stock solution on the market. I could always go AMD, of course they tend to release earlier, but at 1920x1080 I would much rather invest in raw speed and processing power than larger texture memory. And when prices inevitably plummet on release of the next gen cards, I can always buy a second 670.

WHAT!? Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 when prices inevitably plummet on release of the next gen cards, I can always buy a second 670. That's what I had figured when I bought my 570. Prices seem to be holding pretty steady still. They are still getting around $200.00 - $350.00 for the GTX570. Depending on brand and options. I want to get the same one I already have so I can have a matched pair. Of course mine is still in the $350.00 range. Its been almost three years. I haven't really had a need of a second card though. PC games aren't exactly demanding these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMateczko Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 ASUS Radeon HD5670 1GB DDR3. It's a long and boring story, why I have such crap GPU. Especially the bottlenecked VRAM. It lags GTA III, and SA! But World of Tanks, and Hitman: Absolution runs fine, though, so I really shouldn't complain. But hey, it's RED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
