..going from 2x SLI GTX 260 Core 216 896MB OC 677core 1089mem to 1x Single Sapphire 7970 HD OC Dual-X 3GB? (I do intend to OC this) Nothing compares the 260 and the 7970 since the 260 is so old. Not even just framerates to me, but since the 260 there have been advancements in GFX technology...

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was hoping to hear. Anything else you can say? Any other games in particular that you enjoy playing on your rig?

Hm. Well, I've got the monitors already anyway, and having 3x monitors is a godsend for audio engineering, so regardless I'll be good with my monitor setup. Yeah, perhaps a year or two down the line I'll get another 670 and just enjoy single display for now. It would suck though having to...

I'd be playing on three 25" monitors at 5760x1080. Here's my concern: My budget can only allow one card, no SLI. Thus, I'm torn between the EVGA 670 SC 4GB and the Asus DC2T 2GB. The EVGA will give me the extra VRAM needed for Surround, but the Asus will give me guaranteed out of the box...
