a search on CryEngine brought up these: http://www.entropiaforum.com/forums/...archid=4869162

since we'll be moving to that shortly, it should come in handy

Most current video cards have more than one DVI slot on them.

yes, i didn't think the dual monitor was really an issue - mine has only one dvi on it, but a pigtail for 2 monitors - in any case, any card capable of supporting eu will surpport dual monitors

ATI HD4850 comes out next week, seems to be cheap and powerful enough.
Other than that, any suggestion is what one prefers

If your on a budget. Go for a Radeon 4850 or 4870.

If you have the money, get a GTX 280.
(Wait another 2 weeks or so, the price on it will be dropping a good amount.)

just buy any 8800 GT card.

I doubt that the price for that monster will drop anytime soon.
Yields are horrible and the power requirements are insane.
IF one hast a monster system with a 1000W PSU and more money than sanity, it might be a buy.
For people who rather think abit about ecology and do not want to waste electricity and are absolutely Nvidia fanbois, the 9800GTX is more suited.

I follow the graphics card industry very tightly. It's price will be dropping.

Nvidia already dropped it's price 100$ to compete with ATI's pricing.


But yeah, an 8800 or 9800GTX is good enough. Or a nice Radeon 4870.
