    Default Video card recommendation?

    Hello again! I am considering going dual-monitor now, but my current video card only has 1 DVI output. So I suppose I'll have to upgrade my video card. Any recommendations in the 200-300 dollar price range? I was looking at this one:

    But I've never had the greatest of luck with Sapphires.

    Thoughts?

    Ive never had any luck with any of ATI's cards, right now ive got a monster card (gtx285sc) ill highly recomend any of the new gtx series, the 260 or the 275 are nice for the price, especially the 275

    right now in my house I am running the following

    nvidia 9800gtx (current main box card)
    ATI x1900xt ( second box)
    nvidia 7900gt (laptop)
    ati x800pe (wife's non gaming rig)
    nvidia 6600gt (daughters pc)
    ati 4670 (home theater)

    i've bought cards from both companies over the years, and yes the 285 is a better card than the 4890 but 10% speed for that price difference is NOT worth it, the 4890 is more than enough and a much better bang for the buck.

    unfortunately you might have to do the same thing i did to it and mod it by installing

    but that's if your willing to go that high and even though WoW won't run both GPUs least you'll have something that can play anything out there.

    Had to install the VGA Cooler due to temps just being way too high for me.

    Before install

    Now
    @idle 30C
    @Crysis Wars or 3 WoWs running 41C
    Auto Tuned to 756MHz (GPU Clocks) 970MHz (Mem Clock) and thats the same on both GPUs
