    Help me upgrade my video card.

    I currently have 2x 8800GTS running on my M2N32-SLI Deluxe mobo and I was wondering what a good video card upgrade would be for me? I will sell the GTS' and I usually spend between 300-400 for my video card. I don't have a strong preference between ATI/Nvidia.

    How about a DX11 card, the ATI 5870 when they are back in stock, most of them are from $389.00 to $399.99. They should be back in stock soon.

    Or you could buy two 5850s and run them in crossfire if you were willing to spend more like $550. But if not, the 5870 is the way to go in a single card right now in your price range.
