What video card for an authentic 2009/2010 system?
I got a Core 2 Quad CPU-bundle (Q9505) cheap and am currently building a End 2009/Beginning 2010 system.
(HW specs see below*)
The question is now what video card to use?
I’ve only got some GT240 and a GTX 560ti that are (roughly) from that period.
Looking for something more matching if found this cards for a reasonable price …
- Radeon HD 4850, 512MB HIS IceQ 4
- Radeon HD 5770, 1GB HIS IceQ 5
- Radeon HD 5770, 1GB Sapphire Vapor-X
- Radeon HD 5850, 1GB with Arctic custom cooler
- Geforce GTX 460, 1GB either a Cyclone or a Hawk
- Radeon HD 6950, 2GB HIS
I’d tend either to the GTX 460 or the HD 5770 couse I always go for cards with good Power/Consuption ratio.
What would you choose?
