Hi all,
i'm upgrading my PC with some new hardware.
With my PC, i usually work photo editing of huge-size pics, and i often play some FPS games.
Actually, i have a nVidia GTX470 ad a Ageia (PCI) physyx card. I also have a (unused nvidia GT240)
I was wondering if buying another GTX470 to have a SLI configuration, or not... or buy a QuadroFX card...
I'm planning to start using photoshop cs5, soon...
What kind of configuration is better to my need?

Thanks a lot.

Andrea.

i know it's enough for cs5... i was thinking about a 470-SLI to achieve better perfermance on FPS games.... but i've read that CS5 will not support SLI cards.

Even GTS250 is enough for just CS5, as long as you have a FAST CPU then you're good to go. :)

Well, with a single GTX470 i'm sure you can play any games recently with a decent setting (High/Med).
