If money doesn't matter, then just wait for the GTX 590 to be released. 1024 stream processors will last you quite a while. [editline]14th February 2011[/editline] If those specs are final, that is. Still, even if they aren't, it's still gonna be a beast of a card.
If you have that much money you should probably build a whole new pc because the stuff you have now probably would bottleneck something like a 590 series. Wait till the new cards are out build a new pc with crazy shit like raided ssds that 6 core processor and some abap motherboard (yes abap).
Just get a 6990 and be done with it. Jeez.
That's ati man the op wants nvidia and by god he'll get it because said he wants it. This is the Internet don't talk about the direct compition you'll just get people talking about why it's not as good or why it's better when really they're fundamentally the same thing. In short I'll say it before the op does. Get out.
Post speccs already, we can't know what card for you to have unless we know the rest of the system, how hard is that to understand?
I think he doesn't understand what we mean with 'Specs'.
OP, get speccy and print screen the readout then post it here, and stop responding to people you deem are 'driving the thread off topic'.
Just in case OP doesn't know how to check his specs, I whipped up a quick walkthrough. [IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/iyzwap.png[/IMG] You're welcome in advance.

I have one more but its so fucking big I think i would hurt myself if i tried that. print screen speccy please though. or maybe dxdiag?

PC case? PSU? Cooling? Fire protectiong? Assholery surcharge? Girlfriend replacement doll? all these things add up in other news buy 10 GTX 590 and quad sli them over 2 mobos and do a duo sli on the third mobo then pay obscene amounts of money to join them together
I like how 6 people have asked for his specs and he still hasn't posted them. I'll be number 7. Specs?
Just DL speccy and make a picture or copy that shit. IT IS NOT HARD, EVEN MY TECH ILLITERATE FRIEND WAS ABLE TO DO IT! He had a Pentium 4, FX5200 and 512MB of DDR ram.

[QUOTE=MorningWoody;28072143]It was sarcasm, in total form T_T[/QUOTE] If it was it did not sound like that to me anyways. On all of them i did find stickers on the bottom and they did have the model numbers on them but did not have the specs. I don't find it hard to believe that some company's would do this, and I only had dells and HPs. this is why I didn't find it to be sarcastic.
get an nvidia tnt2, it's the first chipset out to offer a 32-bit frame buffer for better quality visuals at higher resolutions, 32-bit color for more realistic colors, and a 32-bit z/stencil buffer for incredible 3D effects, blazing the trail for graphics processing units such as the geforce 256 and geforce2 gts

He has some problems with drivers, but it is pretty OK. Works well for him!
Get this: [media]http://i.cubeupload.com/aUvvrW.jpg[/media] In all seriousness, I'd suggest a 6870. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150506[/url] If you can't quite afford that, you can get this: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131374&cm_re=6850-_-14-131-374-_-Product[/url] Buy it fast, $170 with promo code, ends on the 22nd though.

ATI Radeon 5670 HD should be nice. Doesn't require additional power and is quite cheap. [editline]18th February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Eltro102;28071087]Hi. My current PC setup is getting quite outdated, and I need your guys help on choosing the right new videocard for me. The case, psu, and cooling should be thought about as well. I might post some pictures of what I have now if you guys ask so. I have been looking for (card) but I'm not sure. I have (psu) so should it be upgraded too? [/QUOTE] There, I fixed it. Some effort people PLEASE.
