Hello,

My wife's GTX 275 is giving her crap[Fragmenting after an hour of use, fans still spinning but meh], and I am at another crossroads here. I currently have Twin HD 5870 from Sapphire Tech. And she has an XFX GTX 275. Welcome to GPU merry-go-round;

Before--
Rig 1: 2xHD 5870s
Rig 2: GTX 275

After--
Sell 1 HD 5870(~350), and RMA, then sell 1 GTX 275(~150), Sell 1 Active Display port Adapter(~70 bucks)
Rig 1: 2xGTX 480
Rig 2: HD 5870

And spend another 300-400 bucks. However here's the catch, I run 3 1080 24' monitors, and I am fairly fond of eyefinity in games. So my question is how have your experiences been with Nvidia's version of Eyefinity?\

I am not afraid of heat or noise, but the SLI capability of the GTX 480, starts to really impress me. Plus CUDA and all that. Just something to consider.

Second option is to buy her a GTX 465, and RMA/Sell the GTX 275(PhsyX card mebebe?)
 
I don't believe nVidia offers an option similar to Eyefinity right now.
 
"nVidia Surround" is not currently available in driver. Was supposed to launch many months ago, but has yet to make an appearance...I am very eager to compare these techs from either party...
 
Well, after a good case cleaning, driver update, and using MSi Afterburner to increase the fan speed a bit. We resolved the issue. However I am still thinking of switching to the 480s when the after-market cooler versions get released....
