Hey, all, looking for some opinions.
Let's say I stay with my P5E (with a 2GB 6950) that will Xfire but not SLI, for a little while (see how the new platforms on the horizon shape up). Right now I'm running 2 24" 1920x1200 monitors (only game on 1)and while the Eyefinity and Nvidia Surround look cool, not sure how ready for primetime they are and how much I'll use it (and yes, I am aware that the Nvidia solution would require 2 cards). In terms of graphics cards which would you do:
1) Buy another HD6950 and Xfire them and most likely carry them to the new board?
2) Scrap the Xfire plans and pick up either a GTX570 or GTX580 for future plans to SLI on another board?
3) Something different?
It seems a bit uncertain to me on the longevity of the cards. I'm hoping some people more "in the know" would have some better informed suggestions.
Thanks alot, all. Sometimes I make what should be fun into continuous mental massaging.
