Hi,
there are many threads about this, but currently I'm stuck, I have a large amount of money to blow on video cards and I don't want to make the wrong choice.
His 5970:
Currently $759 AUD best value for my money atm and should hit maximum perf at 1080p.
GTX 480 2-way SLI:
Scales well, performs like a magical beast from myths and has 3D vision. It'll cost a $1178 AUD, not exactly the best value for money and there's the heat vacuum problem.
GTX 470 2-way SLI:
This will cost me $858 AUD like the gtx480 it scales well. There are reference coolers out for this card so heat is not an issue. It supports 3D Vision as well.
5970+5870 Trifire:
Unsure about the benefits of this setup
5870 Crossfire:
Unsure about the benefits of this setup
Waiting for the 5xxx revision to come out on October is not an option. I can't wait and can always re-sell or do a swap back if it comes to that.
