Looking for a Good Video Card

[wfj]

Hmmm. What about using them with SLI/CrossFire? Does that work with hacks, and would it be worth it?

No sli or crossfire although cuda accelerated apps can use cores from multiple nvidia cards with the new chimera.

What happens if you link them? Does it just act like the one card, or does it not work at all? I'm asking because I could link them for use in Windows, then just use the single card in OS X and leave them linked if that was the case.

The SLI bridge can be in place. Here is the post if you want to read it:

Thanks! So no support for multiple AMD cards?

Oh okay. Thanks guys. Looks like it's going to be Nvidia http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Dual-DualLin ... 807&sr=8-1 What's everyone think of this card?

Don't go with 448 if you don't want problems.

What's the issue with the ones with 448 cores?

Hmmm. What about the 448 that's on Tony's recommended hardware?

There seem to be a number of people using that card with success. The example above looks like an isolated incident. I'm not sure I'd sweat it too much.

Okay. I just looked at your Golden Build #2, and saw the 570, which I found to be only about $35 more than the 560Ti. Would it be worth the extra money and offer possibly more stability?
