Thinking of Upgrading Graphics Card | Anyone Playing Rigs on a Higher Res Than 1080p?

[Dustin Hart AM]

Just curious if anyone else here is playing beyond 1080p/1200p for Rigs and would have a recommendation for a video card around $200ish? I've had a 32 inch BenQ monitor at 1440p for a little while now and got by without much issue but some of the newer trucks and tracks are making a serious hit on my framerate with most of the eye candy toned down. Basically I'd like to get something better at handling the newer stuff without going too extreme. I would also like to get a card that could drive three displays for regular use, but only need single display for gaming.

Here's my current specs if that helps at all:

CPU: AMD FX-8320
Motherboard: ASUS M5A-99FX Pro R2.0
RAM: 16GB DDR3 1600mhz Corsair
Graphics Card: MSI Radeon 7700HD
Storage:
500gb Samsung 840 EVO
2x WD 2TB hdd
2x WD 1.5TB hdd
Power Supply: Corsair HD850 PSU
Displays:
BenQ 3210pt 2560 x 1440
Panasonic tc-p42st30 1920 x 1080

The 960 is a good choice for the budget, but the card "may" struggle under the load at times, I would reccomend (if of course you have the extra cash) is to get the gtx 970, it'll run everything smoother, but the 960 is a good bet if you only have 200

I might have to consider going up a bit. The $200ish range was more what I was willing to spend vs what I could spend. I'm just trying to be somewhat responsible with spending. Being an adult is lame sometimes.
