I know this is a very unusual comparison, but I need some advice. I'm looking to build a new gaming rig, with a goal of the absolute best gaming performance. The problem is that my main focus is on flight sims (like DCS) which require a high clock speed, and only use 2 threads. This is due to...

Hey Guys. I used to have two AMD 6990's in Xfire, but they both died. Now I'm looking to replace them. Having had a bad experience with the 6990's (driver issues, noise levels, overall quality), I'm now looking only at Nvidia. My system is a couple of years old and I can't afford to just...
