I recently built myself a new computer. (i7 920, 12 GB RAM, Gigabyte X58-Extreme Mainboard), but i did not purchase the graphic card yet (i'm running it on my old ATI x1650x as of now, and gaming just hurts.). I was considering waiting for the new 3 series Nvidias, but I decided to buy a 2 series card. The reason being that 3 series will probably arrive to Peru probably 3 or 4 months after they come out in the US, and even then i'd probably feel better with a platform that is already proven to be bug free. Right now 2 series cards are mature and at good price compared to ATI 58x0s.
For almost the same price I can get 1 GTX295 ($720), 2x GTX275 (total $600), and 3x GTS250 (total $650) the GTX260 doesn't come to peru). So far I'm eyeing the 2x GTX275 as the option since it's the cheapest (and because the charts show that 2x GTX275 is better than 1x GTX 295).
The setup would require 2 monitors Samsung P2270. I've been trying to save up for a gorgeous 30" monitor.
Typical use for my pc is work and games. I spend most of my day with autocad (just 2D drawings), CorelDRAW, filemaker pro 10. and what little time I get to play it's UT3, diablo, WOW, Simcity 4. I'm into FPS and car games.
any thoughts? Thank you.
