Hi there i need some advice ! Fast if possible cause i think i have to return the graphiccard i bought about 3 weeks ago, if i can return it anymore...
I am at the point where i got my new hackintosh to work 100%, but since i was a long time away from all the hardware stuff, i followed the build of a friend and bought a PNY Quadro 2000 because he recommended it for "3D and graphic stuff",now i know that there seem to be quiet the differences in the usage of a card and what application you use. Since i am at the border to a professionell i cant say that i will stay with that applications forever, but for more those are the facts:
Target Usage in Priority Order:
Why would i want SLI ?
System:
So in a short chat with a Mod, im sorry i dont remember the name anymore, he recommended a GTX 580 at the moment. Since the 680 isnt supported from apple yet i cant use them.
The Thing is that i have an old EVGAGTX 285 MacEdition which i could use for the time until there are OSX Driver for the 6xx series. But i dont want to stick with the 285 for more than, lets say 3-5 months, since im had serious issues with the latest nvidia drivers for windows.
Which of the latest, supported Graphic Cards on the market (GTX580? which one exactly?) should i get for best workperformance and my little sli wish ?
Should i really try to stick to my GTX 285 till there are 6xx drivers ? But what if that takes more than another half year ?
I need the best performance for my usage that is supported and out there at the moment, i would wait for 6xx series IF theres antoerh one who would suggest it, because he also thinks the drivers might come soon.
Since were sadly also talking about money: I am willing to Pay about 300-500$ for one card i guess. would be great if i could get one now, and the sli one as soon as there is better financial space for that luxury feature.
Please help me with your knowledge, suggestions or constructive thoughts. Thanks. And sorry for my bad english, im german - or does that influence your help ?!
best regards,

Target Usage in Priority Order:
- VideoEditing (Final Cut X / After Effects)
- GraphicDesign (Adobe Creative Suite)
- VideoPlayback (i have problems with vimeostreams, weird horizontal breaks, havent figured out the problem, but my two Dell U2311H seem fine)
- 3D-Animation (rookie Cinema 4D atm)
- at the very last point i like to play Battlefield 3 and in Future Diablo III at some spare time, im dreaming of eyefinity.
Why would i want SLI ?
- Very First Reason: Nvidia MultiOS - im have to jump from windows to osx, so having a true graphiccard for my vm would be perfect.
Very Last Reason: I am silent fan of Eyefinity, if possible i would like to keep that in mind for a future third monitor.
