Ok so about 6 months ago I bought 2 6870's and have loved the performance since then. Im taking a linux class in school however so I started duel booting win7 with Ubuntu. I have used it in the past but always went back to windows because my games dont like to run in ubuntu well all the time. Upon doing some reading I have discovered alot of people saying that AMD graphics cards, Ubuntu and wine dont like to play nice together. Im thinking of going to a single nvidia card but dont want to go down in performance. Will the 660ti outperform the two 6870's? The card im looking at is http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008UG2W20/ref=asc_df_B008UG2W202184370?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=pg-469-34-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395097&creativeASIN=B008UG2W20 and I dont want to spend any more than that
