Divorcing...

Unfortunately I'm not interested in dual-pcb cards again... I did not know the 4870x2 was such a card (should have picked up from the "x2") but then again the 280GTX OC has such a high % of bad cards (I hear every day of overheating cards dying).

I was gonna get the 280GTX once price drops and get the EK nykel plated block for it... I've just had it with EVGA though, their fucking forums are useless. No one has helped me in +1 month about my video corruption issues in spite of multilple users reporting the EXACT same bug and behavior.

I heard XFX had stellar customer service, we'll see about that...

Thanks a lot for the help you guys!!!

4870X2 is not dual PCB card - its 2 GPUs on 1 PCB :)

 
Oh is it?

That changes thing... misunderstood the [H] article then...

Ill never be able to crossfire on my board but 1x 4870x2 shall max out any game since I play on a 22" !

True but there might have been a hack or something...

I'm really a sad puppy :(

Is there such a thing as step ups for ATI? Atm I only game at 1680x1050 one 4870 would probably suffice for my Crysis very high thrist... but the X2 is is coming.

Yah, step ups for ati consist of putting your video card on craigslist for sale, and then buying a new video card with that money. I hear it has a fast turn around.
 
If your 790-780i mobo is dialed in and running well it would actually be a miscalculation to change up unless you really have the money to change motherboards and you're going to kick yourself if NV comes back with something really good fairly soon, or if the 260-280 series drops even more. Stick with the board you have and SLI some 260's when the next 260 price drop comes. Heck if the 280's drop to around $350-360 AR (which I predict they will within two months) - wait it out a bit, you might be able to SLI a pair of 280's.
