Hi this is an awesome forum!
I have a question about graphics cards. I am building a new system soon. I am debating on whether to get two (2) 8800 GT w/ 512, or a single 8800 GTX. Which would be better 2x 8800 GTs in SLI, or a single top of the line 8800 GTX (pimped out version)? I want to run three monitors on the set up but would be willing to get a cheap card to run the third monitor if the GTX is the better one to get. I know that I?ll not be able to use all the monitors while using the SLI function, that?s ok with me, I?d only use it when playing graphics-intense games anyway. The screens that I will be using are 2x 1650x 1050 as the secondary?s and a larger 1360 x 768 as the main. I wouldn?t ever use all three screens as a single image or anything. So, knowing all that, which would be better to get? 2 GTs or a 8800 GTXXX Super Overclock Ultra (or whatever the top-of ?the-line GTX is called)?
Oh and what size PSU would I really need to run whichever configurations?
Thanks for the advice!
