    Should I get an XBOX360 Elite or should I spend my cash on something else?

    Would a Thermaltake Toughpower 850W PSU be enough for Dual GTX280s

    Lets say i get myself 2 6pin-pin adaptors to run 2 GTX280s with a Thermaltake Toughpower 850W, *just found out that the model I got had no 8pin adapters* would it be still possible to run the 2 cards? For SLI purposes. Just dont want to shell out $250-$300 for a new PSU, if my 850 could do...

    Out of all the 7xxi SLI boards this board had no problems

    ASUS P5N72-T Would this board be the real deal for getting a dependable 7xx board?? I know it has few reviews but the fact that it didnt show up as a bad board, would this be a 7xx board to get?

    1 GTX280 / 2 GTX260s / or 3 9800GTX+s???

    1 GTX280 / 2 GTX260s / or 3 9800GTX+s???

    I think so too, I mean it defeats the SLI purpose if an SLI capable board could also to CF. Could I have your opinion regarding this thread MarcVenics? What would be an ideal NVIDIA configuration, around $700?

    1 GTX280 / 2 GTX260s / or 3 9800GTX+s???

    wow 2 GTX280s... I wish I had the cash for 2 but sadly my budget is $700.. yet i would not think my board though an SLI, would handle 2 GTX280s, but i would agree with you though right now the GTX is still overpriced and plus its not showing much promise as of current drivers and what the...

    1 GTX280 / 2 GTX260s / or 3 9800GTX+s???

    so you saying the X4870 x2 will run better than the GTX280? Since x2 is ATI's way of Nvidia's GX2 where 2 gpus are slapped into one card, if ATI's card is successful, could I still run the X4870 x 2 in my 680i board? Thanks for the info!:thumbsup:
