Hey guys,

So I'm looking to upgrade my computer in the near future and was wondering if anyone could recommend some quality video/graphics cards. Price is sorta irrelevant at this point in time, I'm more looking to get like a spectrum of quality and then judge it based off of that.

Also I apologise if this is posted in the wrong forum.

Seems like it's in the right forum to me, have you tried googling it? I remember when I was looking at buying a laptop that could play games like SC2 fairly well I stumbled across a website that ranked each graphics card on how well it did at each game.

i always look at guru3d.com for reviews of video cards
they have a ranked list of all the major gpu's so you can see the best and then go from there

ATI is king if you are budget consious but from what I hear nvidia is king of direct x 11

This will give you a good idea.

Generally any nvidea/amd card is good value because of the level of competition between the two. Blizzard games generally give the advantage to nvidea.

Generally I use whatgfx.com to tell me what is best value for money.

Whats your current computer specs? (CPU, Motherboard, Power Supply, RAM, Current card, case)
What do you want to use the card for? (Ie. Grysis 2 on and BF3 on Ultra or Warcraft III on medium)
Whats your budget? (We need this because when you mention "price is irrelevant" - it always is I mean I could straight up suggest 4x GTX 580's but I don't think you would want to spend that money)

Without knowing the above, we have no idea what to suggest

I have a 560ti in my comp and it runs fine by itself tbh. I'd get 2 of those

I'm using an MSI Cyclone II nVidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti. Has quite a giant fan in it, and runs cool. This is good if you're trying to maximise performance if you're under budget, it can be classified as a Mid-High range card I reckon. But if budget ain't the issue, go for the higher ups like the GTX 570/580/590

I use double GTX 580 not necessary for this game but i think if u can get like something decent rather from GTX as what ultimate said.

At the moment I'm running a single ATI Radeon 6870 1TB, but keep in mind that if you go ATI you'll have to be constantly checking for drivers. I've had plenty of driver issues and updating them constantly helps.

[Meatex]

I have had no problems with ATI tbh
My laptop has problems (nvidia) though TT

Yeah obviously if price isn't important just go and get 2x the most expensive card then you're set for a long time

I have an ASUS ATI 5850 which runs almost everything max (though doubt it will with BF3)

[TADivinity]

Yeah you need to be careful that your other computer specs will support an upgrade.
Especially consider your PSU and whether it is enough to support a new card in the first place.
You said price isnt an issue - which is incredibly vague to be honest. A GTX 570 for example is like AU$350 - and the step above that, the GTX580 is like AU$550.

[FSDarkNemesis]

Concerning Power units, look for a Gold SLI standard.

yeah, TADavinity is right, a 600W can take a 550Ti but it won't necessarily mean that it has enough for a power hungry card like a GeForce GTX 580/590 or the ATI Radeon 6970.

I don't get how you can recommend a card without knowing anything about his system or what his needs are o_O
