Gentlemen, which setup would be better?
2 x 285 GTX (SLI) or a single 480 GTX ?
I currently have 2 x 285 GTX in SLI and my main problem is HEAT. Both cards are sandwiched VERY tight one on top of another (poor MB design) and last time i tried playing Warhammer 40k: Chaos Rising - it would constantly crash due to overheating. I had to take the case sidepanel off and turn on AC full force (then it was ok).
So i'm contemplating switching to a single 480 GT to reduce the heat output.
Would the performance be on par? (i'm on a 30" display, 2500x1600)
