proof card you will need to spend a bit more money. There is no such thing as future proof, if such a thing existed then the future proof cards from two years ago would have been able to run Crysis and the like at triple figure frame rates quite easily. ^ agreed....

which is where it really belongs."[/i] Another concern is how "future proof" are these cards against their cost? There is already some evidence out there to suggest Nvidia is basically sitting on the next refresh of cards in the 8900 series that will be...

to buy cards every generation. some people will have been waiting for the ATI cards to come out before making their choice. they may be in need of an upgrade and will be buying now. in that case, deciding how future proof a card is is a big thing,...

TMU's compared to 9600gt or any other G80/G92 which makes 9600gt come even close to 3870. Will TMU make it less future proof? What I know is that you want to buy a card that is more balanced to be more future proof. These cards both lack one way or another....

cards. They still probably still offer the fastest gfx cards for notebooks despite the war on chipsets they are suffering. 3) 2 slots, 2 CPUs, 1 lane, 2 fans, n sockets... huh? Fact is that the 3780x2 is a crap try to create the fastest GFX cards (for market...

future proof, and a very good card. Neither the 4870x2 or the 9800GX2 are dual card solutions. Both are single cards in that they take up no more space than any other single card with dual slot cooler. The 4870x2 (which, IMO, has the better design) is, indeed,...

4870/5770 will be overkill... But if you are willing to keep the monitor for 2-3 years then they will be good future proof cards in your case... Go with any one of those... I don't really need it to be very future proof, as the moment I get the chance,...

over 2x the speed as the HD 2900XT. It sounds like PS3, future proof is good but it is a fast and competitive industry, nothing is really future proof. By the way, I don't like high power consumption with 2900, it would makes my case feel like radiator....
