Graphics Card Recommendations?

...ordered the zotac gtx 550 ti... hopefully it plays nice w/ my machine

 

I would personaly go with the Nvidia 560TI. For the price they are prolly the best for $ to performance. I built my friend a pc and put a single 560TI in and he plays BF3 at High/Ultra with 40+FPS.

since you have ordered your card already, you can still bookmark this site for future reference:

thanks guys, ...i ordered a GTX 550 ti, ...hopefully when it gets here it works ok... one thing i like about it is the display port along w/ hdmi and dvi connections..

 

ok installed card, installed latest nvidia driver... so far so good..

and I HAVE SOUND!

 

Haha.. finally. That was a long time comin'

 

yeah, tell me about it.. sometimes it takes me a while to make up my mind

 

I wish I had seen this thread earlier, I would have suggested a Nvidia Quadro 600 since it is more engineered for workstation style work (photo/video editing autocad etc) and in those tasks this little baby can outperform a 560Ti by a ton.
