I'm stuck in the old days, and being that I don't game a ton anymore, I'm sticking with my monitor which is native 1680x1050.
I just started playing Civ5 and my 8800GTX is having some issues. In DX9 its fine ( but gameplay is worse, go figure ) but in DX10/11 it plays for a while then crashes. It repeats this with more frequency the more I push the card.
My local retailer ( ++++ ) has 768MB 460's for $175CAD, but also the EVGA Superclocked 450 1GB for $115CAD.
Would the 450 push DX11 at that resolution with all the candy, or am I better getting the 460? Don't know. All the reviews start at 1900 now so its hard to gauge what I could get away with.
Thanks,
Ryan
