In that case, a Radeon 5770 wouldn't be a bad choice, and will allow him to rock games at 1680x1050 before he upgrades the monitor. No modern video card is going to last more than two years before being outperformed by a mid-range option (okay, maybe the 5870/5970 will if they don't give up the magic smoke right after the warranty runs, but there's never any point in spending that much dough on a video card). But at the very least the 5770 should stretch to three years if you overclock it and don't mind compromising on graphics settings in the latter half of its lifetime. |
Yeah, OK. 5770 then, and save the money for a mid-life upgrade of the same amount.
