I'm planning on spending my tax refund on a Dell U2711 27" monitor to replace my Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2070SB.
Since I'm blowing all my refund on the new monitor, I'd like to spend around $250 or less on the new video card to replace my HD 4850.
Would either the HD 6870 or HD 6950 be capable of playing somewhat newer games (especially my current obsession Skyrim) at the Dell's native resolution of 2560 x 1440 at a decent frame rate?
Or would either of these cards be over kill considering I have a somewhat older CPU? Core 2 Quad Q9450 OC to 3.2GHz
