New GRFX card advice:
Hey people,
I'm thinking of upgrading my graphics card(s) sometime after Christmas (as one of my GX2's is slowly dying now i'm stuck with 1 98GX2) and am deciding on a few options I would like some opinions on.
a) 2 Nvidia GTX275's (AKA GTX295) $600 for the 2
b) 1 GXT295 $750 (takes me back to the GX2 day's)
c) Or I swing the other way and go for an ATI card, but I cannot take advantage of Crossfire technology as i'm running a Nvidia chipset. so it would have to be a high end card to make it worth it IMO, probably the 5850 $400 as the 5870 is almost $600.
I'm pretty rapped up on a pair of GXT275's, if I do run 2 of them, I will virtually have a GTX295 BUT with OpenGL 3.0 opposed to older OpenGL 2.1 on the GTX295.
So this is a 'best bang for your buck' / future proof attempt of a question for opinion. thanks for any advice or comments
Rick.
