Would a single video card last me longer than dual cards?

[HaloHalo]

Or would dual cards give more power and better gaming?

You're better off with a single card, as two cards =/= two times the power.

Two cards also create a ton more heat.

That isn't what I'm asking.

I'm asking if dual cards make better gaming than a single card.

Yes, but not enough of a difference to really justify getting a second card.

What card(s) are you planning on getting?

[HaloHalo]

The single card would be an AMD Radeon HD 6850 and the dual would be ATI Radeon HD 5670.

[HaloHalo]

Dammit.

[HaloHalo]

:c

[devildogelite]

The 6850 is a dx11 card, also the 5670 is a pretty old card if i'm not mistaken. I would go with the 6850

[HaloHalo]

I thought the 5670 was one of the newer cards... Hmmm... Okay.

With more video cards, you can hook up more monitors...
