    which video card to choose

    thanks I think I will go with the 4890 single card for now. My current monitor only supports 1280 x 1024 but I might upgrade to 1920 x 1200 soon. I guess I just want someone more efficent than my current 8800gts sli setup since that produces to much heat and dont want to overclock it to...
