GPU for upgrading my build from HD 4000

[hamiltus]

Hey TMX86 crew. I'm currently using HD 4000 and I was wondering which GPU you guys think I should get to speed up my build. Price limit is €160 and I did look at the GTX 650 and the Radeon HD 6870 for baselines but I wanted your opinions.

I am wondering the exact same thing. Currently using HD 4000 off my i7 3770. For me though I NEED the ability for dual monitors as well as being a relatively easy to setup! Thanks for your suggestions!

Given my past experiences, I would stay away from the Ati cards. Alot of work to get them to function correctly. The GTX 650 I just got works OOB.

Ok so I'm now broadening my options to include the 660 Ti since I read that the GTX 660 non-Ti, with it's GK106 GPU, is quite harder to install on OS X.

Anyone with any thoughts please chime in.

Thanks again.
