Hey Everyone,
I'm trying to build a custom system for some gaming, everyday computing, and maybe some Virtual Machining. I'm torn between getting the Radeon 6870 or the GTX 470. I'm planning on picking up just one for now and then picking up an additional card to runin SLI/CrossFire when I need the extra performace boost. The other option is to get 2 460's in SLI off the bat, this is expensive and probably not needed right now (running a display at 1920x1200). What option are you guys feeling?
I'm also concerned about PhysX. Is it something I should be going with NVIDIA for? If I get a single 470 will I then need to get an additonal card (something lower) to run PhysX on? It wont run with only a single GTX 470 right?
Thanks!
