So, what card to choose? I'm building a new system, So far I've chosen an E8500 processor, 4 GB of G.Skill 1000 memory, and have yet to choose between a P5Q and a 750i (obviously this depends on the graphics card too).
My price range can go up to $500 but obviously I don't particularly want to have to spend that much. Should I get a GTX 280 ($380 on Newegg with mail-in) or a dual GPU card? The GX2 and 4850 X2 seems better than GTX 280 in some things but not all.
Help me choose!
NB, I am not going to buy a very large monitor, so I won't be needing to play at resolutions of 2560 x whatever, I'm thinking maximum resolution would be 1440 x 900 or the next one above that, not higher.
Thanks for your opinions!
