How can I find that information out? I mean will we even know about games like BF3 and Skyrim before they come out?
Also I am sorry but I do not know a lot about motherboards, what makes the MSI better than the Asrock besides the warranty?
Well I know you know more than I do most likely, I am not too knowledgeable in all this stuff I just know how to build a PC. I have never had dual card set ups I just like what the performance looks like for the price. As far as I can tell it is the best value with dual 560tis.
Just because of the warranty? Anyways I was looking at charts the two 560tis will cost me about $420 and they will out perform the 580 by quite a bit and the 6970 by a lot.
Ok, so would it be a good idea to buy a 580 now and then maybe a year or whenever from now to get another one? Or would it still be cheaper to buy a better budget card later? I know I planned on doing this with my current build, I bought a 4890 but I think my processor was more of a bottleneck...
What is an H80? I want to future proof this machine a bit and I am pretty sure a single 560ti won't run BF3 or Skyrim on max settings.
Yes I am not sure on what to get yet. Would a 580 be better to get? They seem to get out performed by 2x560tis by a bit and the 560s cost about $40 less.
