5870, until I can compare with the 300 series.

The 300 series will be out of your price range.

I might actually get a 5970 if the price drops, and they fix the drivers.

Pandan is a dumbass Nvidia fanboy, who doesn't know that WoW supports SLI but just doesn't really utilize it.  Godik and Riot are living in the past with their stupid 9800's, which are already outdated.
Oh, you let your computer-peen get in the way.

Is that why people get graphics fragments when using SLI?
Yes.

Pandan, you're an nvidia fanboy. Shut the forget up.
Nvidia is going nowhere atm, ATi is the way to go.
But I'll wait for Nvidias 300 series.
O U 2

There is no point in arguing with me.
I won't change my mind.

That thing has some pretty high power requirements, you sure you can handle that?

Yes.

Then please explain to me why there is a multi-gpu option.  People getting graphics fragments are doing it wrong.

My computer e-peen is pretty damn big, and it just hit you in the face.

Wow 500$, Oh god, what a waste, your doing this for games?

The nVidia 310 came out last month so, the rest of the 300 series should be available in a few months, I'd just wait until they come out and then choose between one of those or an ATI card.

Wrong.

The 310 is simply a rebranding on a 9 series card, to be used in pre-built machines by Dell.  It's not the actual GTX300 series, fermi-based cards everyone is waiting for.

Duckmeister, did you get your 5970?  I would be really interested in some personal benchmarks.

I sure did.  The only game I have benchmarked so far is Dirt 2, which I'm getting 60 FPS on average (with all settings maxed with DX11).  Next up will be Far Cry 2, and Arma 2.

Modern Warfare 2 runs great at 120 FPS, but I haven't fully benchmarked it yet.

This is all running on a i7 920.

DRIVERS ARE FIXED.  CATALYST 9.12.

750w is high for a gaming machine?

God people, why do you waste 500$ just for gaming

because they have no other real use for money and wont have till they get about my age
