Ok cool - that logic makes perfec sense :) Thank you one and all - I'll be back once I have the whole thing set up :)

Hmmm - Work it in tandem with the 570 and offload the PhysX there? Would I SLI them together somewhow? Anything to give me a little boost if I don't have to spend any money would be sweet :) It wouldn't work in tandem with the 6970 would it - to give PhysX? - that seems unlikely (Still...

I got the Phenom, II x4 965 3.4 Ghz, 6MB AM3 (Black Edition) The only reason I was considering redoing my order was that the 9670: Supports the widescreen resolution nativeky (I could sell - sell/repurpose my TH2G for another box down the road) Seems to have a slight advantage in the extreme...

Well I can't cancel the 570 I ordered :| (already shipped) Sooo - I can keep the 570 hooked to my TH2G and use the GTX260 on the secondary PCI-e slot - but then I run into the "not enough 6-pins" issue - choices choices.

Okay then - seems fairly cut and dry in that the single 570 is about as good as I can expect. That will teach me to take the advice of friends before checking things out more fully. Thank you guys for your help :). Maybe I will go with the 6970 :)

So if I ever do a 570 SLI I should also look into upgrading to a 6 or 8 core Phenom II?

Also you have both been very helpful. Thank you for the solid advice :)

Yeah - the triplehead2go solved my needs for a time, but with the newer games the 260 is just no beefy enough. I am somewhat regretting not going Intel, but I really could not afford to when I was buying the Mainboard and CPU.

My desire to stick with NVidia has to do with my motherboard supporting SLI (and not XFire). So down the road if I want to SLI I would need to buy a new motherboard and a second card, or buy 2 new NVidia cards. Unless I am completely clueless when it comes to my motherboard (which is entirely...

That was what I was leaning towards - the 580 is a bit out of my price range, but the 570 you recommended looks like a good bet - Amazon has an EVGA with a lifetime warranty for $350. My SSD and RAID drives arrive tomorrow. Thanks for your advice. I'll just keep the 260 in my old system for...

No responses. Did I not shower? :D Is there something missing, or did I ask incorrectly?

Hello - first time posting on this forum. I stumbled here looking for some comparisons between the Nvidia GTX260 and some of the newer Nvidia cards. I am building a new system for games, and will be turning my old box into a media server. My old system has a GTX 260 that has been running...
