My NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 with 2GB DDR5 memory which can be found now for $196.00 USD performs well and allows me the luxury of using 3 monitors with my MSI MB Intel i7 PC. Perfect for my DJ gigs where I am in-world on one or more accounts and displaying SAM 2015.1 and my Internet Browser for trivia.

Yes, all the Ultra features work as well.

Heya, I am looking at a new computer because mine is really old and cannot be upgraded. The feed back I am getting from friends is GEforce GTX runs better on SL than Radeon. On their series the second digit gives you an idea of performance. Like many my budget is not great but I am looking at a GTX 960, which is mid range and will perform well enough I have been told. Its about on a par with the GTX 770 which is older, but 960 is a lot cheaper and runs on a lot less wattage and therefore saves on your electricity. Remember what ever you get from a card most sims will only run FPS at around 45. There are higher range cards but these start becoming really big bucks and may perform better. Yet if you can hit 45FPS on SL its not going to get better than that. Until I get and try the GTX 960 2GB I do not know what frame rate I will get.

You need to check your wattage capacity before buying any card but GTX960 for example needs 120 watts which is low for a card in this range, it reccomends a computer wattage of 400.

I am not an expert just passing on advice i was given by people who seem to know about computers and reasearch i did. Hope this helps.
