July 25, 200816 yr Why would you get 3 260's ??? wtf, get two HD4870's and a Crossfire Motherboard. If you don't want that then get 2 280's or something. 3 Graphics cards are a waste unless your playin super high rez.
July 26, 200816 yr Author Yeah, I don't know, the 280s draw alot more power. Maybe I'll just roll with 2x260's.
July 27, 200816 yr Yeah, I don't know, the 280s draw alot more power. Maybe I'll just roll with 2x260's. Yea least you can do is that, theres no reason to have 3 260's, there so many better deals that can give u the same price/performance if not better performance and lower price. Edit: I just re-read that your getting a 1KW PSU, why would you be concerned about the power consumption of multiple 280's ? you have well over enough power, long as it's a good brand you would be well off with dual 280's.
September 3, 200816 yr Don't even think about settling for a multi-graphics solution. It's not going to be twice as fast. The scaling will be horrible and you will have wasted a lot of money. :wtcslap:
