my requirement be to find a card that natively support mini-displayport output . this be why I choose to go with a Radeon make card rather than NVidia . not many single-gpu nvidium card have this option , and those that do require a display port to mini-display port adapter . I currently use a 27 '' iMac as my monitor -lrb- connect to my gaming pc via display port -rrb- . it run SWTOR beautifully at 2560x1440 , often peak at 112 fp at max setting . I replace a 6970 with this card , as the 6970 I have receive be defective . I be glad I do , as the performance be phenomenal .
