Forgot your budget and brand preference :P and what on earth are you doing with a 900w power supply?

I think you'll want something that plays well with Silent Hunter V instead

. You'd have to go to some trouble to find a card that would not be good enough for SH3 as it's almost five years old.

If it's really only SH3 you care about, grab any mid-range card and you'll be more than ok.

If it's SHV, well... would you use SLI or not? You've obviously prepared for it.

I don't use SLI. SH V sounds great so lets go with that in mind. Brand preference or price isn't a matter.

260GTS 1gb.

Best cost/performance.

BFG 295 GTX H2OC LE 1792 mb All you'll need for along time.

Lifetime warranty that's transferable to next buyer.

Or even one of these

BFG GeForce GTX 285 OC 1024MB GDDR3

I also play Il-2 46, But SH III for some reason dosen't play on my present card Geforce GTX 8800.
So I'm opting for an new card.
I also like to play CMBO, CMBB, CMAK,
One more thing I saw the previews for SH V, Exactly when is it out in 2010 is this date reliable or just another emplty promise?
I checked out the card recommendations and they seem to be DD3 Now my Motherboard supports DD2, so does this mean I have to buy a new Motherboard?

DD3 is faster and if you want a computer to end all computers, yes.
If you want to play the new games for the next 2 or 3 years, probably not.
