Thnx Headless Chicken Depends what you are planning on playing, if you are still just going to play Cod4 or Cod5 you may as well save your money Bazz, because with a 3 or 4 Gig card you will be a bit over qualified shall we say.

If I were purchasing right now I would look seriously at the Radeon R9 290. If paired with another, you'll have no horse power than the top card, the Radeon R9 295X, which costs upwards of $1,500.00 U.S. I just checked the price on the Radeon R9 290, MSI has one at Newegg for $434.99 U.S. This is a 4 gig card. Check it out!
