27" is not enough information, actually not needed. Resolution matters because the number of pixels is all the graphics card cares about. Monitor size in inches is only an indicator of how far apart those pixel are.

 

If it is a standard HD monitor (1920x1080) then most any decent gaming card will be fine for medium graphics. It also depend on what kind of performance you are after.

 

The rest of the rig matters as well since there is no point in putting a $600 graphics card in, for example, a system with a Core2Quad processor. The processor will still be the bottleneck and little if anything will be gained.

am running 37 inch lcd on a older gtx 260 so anything above a gtx 260 youll be ok.

again i need to turn visuals down a touch but it still looks nice.

 

but if u read my sig i have a decent system setup and memory that helps.

I run a 26 inch with a 8800GT at 1920x1200 and I get very good FPS. I also run a 24 inch off of that same card.

If your looking at a dell that runs higher then 1080p then you might want something in the league of ATI6950 or better. Otherwise, as cichlidfan said, it depends on the rest of the rig. I'd guess if your dropping coin on a 27"er then your PC must be a good one?

I have an Gigabyte GTX 570 Windforce 3 on 27"+22" inch monitors.

very happy with it and even runs Crysis 2 maxed out with graphics improvement MOD's (tesselation and tecture MODs).

 

I think you could get away pretty good with GTX 560Ti specially the 448 core edition as well.

 

Of course you need a fast CPU to go along with it. An I5 2500K is fast enough and its cheap. :)

As mentioned, just knowing the size of the screen is completely irrelevant. The native resolution is the important bit.

 

If native resolution is over 1080p, I would recommend a card with extra vRAM - 1.5GB or more. If it's at 1080p, you'll be fine with most anything from a 560 and up, with 560Ti and 570 being the two "best value" options in my opinion - though if the money is here you can still never go wrong with a 580.

the 27inch monitor specs are max res.1920 x 1080. vid format 1 080 p (FullHD). pic contras 1000:1 / 5000000:1 (dynamic).Samsung 27" LCD Syncmaster S27A750D 1920x1080, 2ms, 120Hz, VGA/HDMI. i was thinking the ati 6990 3gb.

[EtherealN]

Pretty much any card will be fine then. 1GB vRAM or more is what I would recommend, and whatever performance capability you end up needing for your game.

 

(Note that a 6990 with 3GB vRAM is actually two 6970 silicons with 1.5GB each. Will work fine.)

[Bee_Sting]

what is up with these new cards that has all this power,but to find out that they are made up of 2 med range cards?

[EtherealN]

Err, 6970 isn't a "mid range" card... 6970 is the top of the line that AMD has.

 

Basically, 6990 is the same deal as with nVidia's 590 - it's a PCB with not one but two of their best GPU's on it, in a one-card SLI/CF configuration. Old news, this is a concept that has been going on for a long time - for example the GEforce 9800GX2 in 2008, which was one card with two G92 chips on it (the chip inside the 9800GTX), or the GeForce 7950 GX2 back in 2006 which was a paired G71 offering (again, a paiting of the 7900's).

 

This is basically just a logical continuation of SLI/CF stuff. You can, for example, find it easier to build a quad-SLI or quad-CF rig through using two of those rather than 4 of the "standard" card, since four cards would require 4 double-size PCIe x16 slots available and no less than 8 PCIe power connectors.

same subject different screen, my question is Vsinc on or off on a 42inch LCD sharp aquo? Currious, tried it on and off, but not seing any differents on FPS, however with Vsync on, it looks better, placebo on my eyes?

[Pyroflash]

Yes, VSync is only useful if you are getting choppy frames that appear to "tear" across the middle. All it really does is to sync up the horizontal and vertical refresh rates of your display output.
