Graphics Card Upgrade, Suggestions Please

[Nefarious]

Right now I have 2x Radeon 6700s using Crossfire and they seem to be giving me issues since I downloaded the beta. I got new drivers and now it effects my ability to use multiple monitors. After lots of issues and rolling back drivers I'm Looking to upgrade to a card that will run Aces High 3 Fully Maxed out at Maxed Frame Rates. I'm also interested in getting a card that will allow me to use a 3 monitor setup in Aces High.

I'm hoping to find one around $300 but I am willing to spend more.

I got a Windows 7 64 Pro, Intel I7 950 @ 3.1 GHZ, 12GB RAM and 900W Power Supply.

Thoughts? Ideas?

I plan to limp along until the new generation of cards come out later this year. Even if I end up with a 970, it should be cheaper, but I'm hoping for a better card at less money in the fall.

Some of the folks here keep better track of this stuff then I.

Well, even an Nvidia 980 is gong to get bogged down a bit if you set the "environment map" slider to maximum.

Nef the NVidia 970 fits in at that range.  I got mine from Amazon couple months ago for close to 300 dollars.

 Is there any benefit buying a 6 GB card over a 4 GB card. I thought I read some where that there was not and cannot find the post.

Not at least on a single screen. Maybe in the future, who knows, or with another game. If the memory is of same speed (GDDR5 or GDDR5X) for both 4 and 6 GB versions of otherwise similar cards and there's no price difference, why not.

Thank you or your reply Bizman. I do have 3 ASUS 26 in. LCD monitors.

What are the best AMD Radeon Cards?

I don't play many other games, Aces High is my main squeeze, Combat Mission series and the Silent Hunter Series modded out are the only other games I play. Like I said, I want the ability to use 3 screens for Aces High as well.

Looking at these...
