I'm thinking of a new build around Christmas. Maybe some new video cards will come out and I'll be able to take advantage of a price drop. . . .
I think that for the first round of my build I want to spend $300 for the GPU, probably the 4870. After seeing the 4870x2 though I was tempted by the extra juice. . . . can they work well together in SLI though? If they can I might just get the 4870 first and then just add an x2 when I have some more cash and keep from going to the newer GPU platforms for a while.
Or maybe it would be much better if I went with the 4870x2 right up front and got another one later down the line. . . .
There is only multimonitor support problems with the NVidia cards in SLI right? Did they fix that?
Would I really benefit by going next gen right when it comes out or will I just be in a tough spot because prices will be high around release dates and I'm pretty restricted to building around Christmas.
