I've done a little google research but cant seem to get a clear answer on the pro's cons of having a single gpu vs dual gpu in a single video card.
For instance. How can the fast SINGLE gpu in the GTX580 have pro's or con's compared to the dual gpu's of, lets say, the Radeon 6970 (these are the two cards I am choosing between)
are there any benifits to having a single GPU cars when you SLI/Crossfire vs 2 in each card?
From what I understand. the GTX580 has a single 1.5GB and the radeon 6970 has 2 (=2GB).
Could someone briefly explain the difference in perfoirmance?
Also,
I plan on using my comp for some high end gaming (Skyrim, BF3, SC2) and a lot for adobe CS5 (premier/photoshot/etc.)
My gaming resolutions are usually not maxxed out and I dont use multiple monitors. just one high res.
Any recommendations?
