Alright, i am finally switching from an uncomfortable setting to something more cosy.

In the process my new screen will be a 37" Tv + my actuall 22" for instruments.

 

My 460 gtx talon won t do it anymore if i want dcs full settings at 1920X1080p + instruments on the 22 like mfcd gauges etc.

 

I tend to walk NVIDIA but in the past i was ATI.

I know Some are pro ATI some are pro NVIDIA.

 

Well i am thinking on a Nvidia 580, but i don t know which one, is there one better than another ? Or all gtx 1500 384 bits are the same ? I like MSI but it doesn t mean squat at the moment.

 

So which one would you guys recomend.

 

OTOH i am considering ATI (cause of the eyefinity althought it may be useless because i ll probably won t go 4 monitors until end 2013 if ever), but then i am even more lost....

Which ATI would you guys recomend ?

 

Considerations:

1) Prices in my country are crazy... so dont take them much in consideration, only a Brasilian consumer will know of what i am talking about.

 

2) Due to city settings, i m not much fan of overclocking, so i ll consider stock, i may do some overclock, but it will be light.

 

3) i don t care that much at benchmarks cause my main concerns are DCS, RoF and IL.

Althought Arma 3 will enter the roll as a gfx pusher, STALKER2 too but its too much incognita.

 

The machine is on my sig.

 

Thanks in advance for any answer.

I am a member of the Nvidia Forum also. If you take a look at it you will see

there are many people having problems with there SLi, and NVidia Admin. do

not answer them ever, at all, Never. Take a look at the Forum.

 

You did not mention SLi, but the drivers that AMD produce are far better

than those offered by NVidia. The Game Profiles are far better than Nvidias'

offerings. And I have always used NVidia. but hard to argue in there favor now.

 

As for what I have seen on this Forum. It seems any AMD/Radeon 5870 and above seems to be the sweet spot.

Thanks i dont intend to do SLI. I prefer to pay a little more than SLI.

I know its subject to diverse opinion, and problems, so if possible i prefer single core.

Information i hadn t provided.

5870 or even 90 is less costy than the 580, but also seem not to perform as good as 580 in a one on one confrontation, if i am to believe the charts i ve seen.

Yes. The 580 is a screemer for sure. I would get that one. I just find it strange that a company with problems doesn't address them, even on their own Forum Page. and their lack of game profiles is curious to me. They don't seem to be concerned with these complaints from their customers.

 

But yes the 580 is good, Don't for get the Ti ver. of that card. does even better in the stats.
