Buying a new graphic card!

I never knew higher resolution increases the temp on the video card(s).

More pixels means more information that must be processed. GTS250 is quite a few series below the 5850... as it was not meant to power my current setup.. thus is why I'm considering a better option. My old setup was crossfire 4850's.. which idled at 70+c... why I swapped for tri-sli 250s soon after

decided on water-cooling setup with SLI MSI N480GTX-M2D15-B GeForce GTX 480 (Fermi) 1536MB 384-bit GDDR5

If all goes well.. I'll step to tri-sli.

That is the article that help make my decision on sli 480s. Fastest single gpu on the market so I figured hell.. might as well double dip.

On a side note: Review to be incoming as I pit my SLI 480s against Crossfire 5970s owned by a close friend.

just curious, you list 2500x1600 resolution and say Toshiba 42" TV. which model TV do you have that has that resolution?

2500x1600 is the resolution of the monitors.. the tv is 1080p. Must of worded it wrong in a previous post.

check out the review of the GTX 460. The website claims that it is a overclocker's dream and it beat the GTX 470 and GTX 465 when overclocked.
