Gtx 590

[Noids]

I used to use the last generation of Nvidia dual GPU cards the 285GTX. It was a combination of 2 x 375GTXs and if you look into the Tomshardware tests, it performed worse than a single 275GTX in WoW. WoW does not handle SLI well at all. If you are running multiple monitors then it may be worthwhile because you can run one monitor off each card using Isboxer. If you are running a single monitor then just get the GTX580 now. This is what I am using on a 30" screen and it is brilliant.

The fuuu???

285 was single GPU, 295 was dual GPU. And what the hell is a 375?

Sorry, was up with my new baby in the middle of the night and obviously slightly sleep deprived.

Meant 295 with 2 x 275s rather than the 285/375 combo :P Either way, stick with getting a 580 unless you're running dual monitors.

Aren't 3xx series for portables only? O_o

HOW IS BABBY FORMED? (grats)

Oh, one of those. I'd use a 580 even if I ran dual monitors. I'm certain it could take the load.

Idunno.

ain't the 5xx series meant to run Eyefinity? (3 monitors) Seems 3 or 5 WoWs would not be a big deal.

5xx or 5xxx?

5xx series does not have Eyefinity since they are Nvidia cards (=^.^=)

Nvidia 3xx series are for portables only

Yes, I was talking about Nvidia cards. Ok thanks for the correction. Still 5 WoWs should run on either 5xx/x series.

This is partially true. Eyefinity is an ATI brand name/trademark/whatever. NVidia multimonitor is called Surround Vision.

Looks like the two setups are pretty comparable.
