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)

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...
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...
