Hey guys and gals!
Well well, I'm getting giddy with myself now lmao! I've been thinking for the past few weeks now and adamant I was going to get 2x XFX 9800GX2 Black Edition cards, but the thing is, I'm hearing alot and seeing more of the GTX 280's about now... So, it's got me REALLY thinking about whether I truely do want the 9800GX2 or not?
Now, here is where I need a bit of help, pro's and con's contributed if possible please -- This I'm hoping you sweet bunch of people can help with!
I'm at a crossroads of going for the XFX GTX 285, but the thing is, in my current rig, which the CPU WILL be overclocked, which card of the three will be more beneficial to gaming for me?
2x XFX 9800GX2 Black Edition
2x XFX GTX 280
2x XFX GTX 285
I'm saving up, so it won't be instantly that I'll go out and buy them, I just want help in choosing one of the three choices to go with, and reasons as to why -- I'll be using a 22" widescreen monitor at a 1920x1080 resolution (no less, as I'll probably go higher to be honest, depends on which resolution everything looks the most pristine )
So, roll on guys and gals, I'll be eagerly awaiting some lovely company!
