Need the best ATi graphics card for a 1280x1024 monitor that costs less then 300$?

My friend has a 1280x1024 monitor.He needs an ATi gpu that costs less then 300$?

I'm thinking about the HD 5770 but not sure.|||For that resolution, everything above a 4850 is a overkill (hell a 4850 is still an over kill)

I would get a 4770 maybe. Basically everything over $150 is an overkill and more than 512mb ram is an overkill.



If you plan on upgrading your monitor later, get the best you can for $300 (5850) or a 5770.



If you dont need to have ATi, I would get a GTS 250.



(Overkill because you wont need so much power for that resolution!)|||The 5830 is the best ATI card for under $300, however, it's not necessary for such a low resolution. Unless he plans on getting a new monitor with a larger resolution, he doesn't need a 5830. However, the 5830 would be more future proof and a better choice if he thinks that he'll be getting a new monitor before he gets a new computer.



If not, than a 5770 will be good.
