Well, if you're planning an X-fire build, don't forget that VRAM doesn't stack. E.g., 2 cards with 2GB of VRAM still show up as 2GB of usable VRAM to the system. That said, there's another vote for the older 3GB 280's.

Hard to predict the future, but you may be bottlenecked by the 2GB VRAM once you have a system using 280's in X-fire.

I'm 100 percent certain they will. Amazon has them but 3 weeks for shipping.

Yep just read it...I like some of the newer features...the other card I was looking at was the 760 and that was really what I was comparing it to.

Yeah that might be an issue later. If I went with the 280 I would definitely crossfire.
