Gtx 590

[Sildenafil]

The new 590 is gonna have 2 GPUs on it. Anybody know if that means it will have the same limitations for multiboxing WoW as 2 cards with SLI? I'm deciding whether to wait a few days for the 590 vs ordering a 580 now.. Rest is ordered and otw and I have a backup card to hold me over if I decide to wait.

ATI 6990 has two GPU and is available for about $700. I saw a review saying how good it was vs the cards out right now. They said to reach its benchmarks you need two top of the line cards in SLI or Crossfire. I am sure the Nvidia double GPU will be good as well. If I had the money I would by the ATI right now.

The latest build from Tom's hardware has 2 6850s and kicks the 570s butt both in price and power usage.

As for the dual gpu cards, Ask Lax, as he got SLI working in ISboxer, I think Windows 7 also let them work

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.

I 5 box with an ATI 3870 if that answers any questions on if it can handle it. Your standard mid end ($200) card will be fine for 5 boxxing wow.

I don't know if you can classify this in the same type as the 6990 but I use the 4850x2 card. This card is basically 2 cards in one. Its not a dual gpu on 1 card like the 6990. I run it in crossfire and run two monitors from it. It's an older card so I need to upgrade. However, it runs pretty well in non traffic areas.
