Okay, hey guys. Around the end of the year ill be getting a new pc, an obvious upgrade from my Pentium 4 2.8ghz with 512mb 333mhz ram.....
Ive already decided im getting the 2.93ghz Nehalem CPU or if i can sqqquuuuze it in, the 3.2ghz Extreme Edition. Ill also be getting 6GB of DDR3 (because its TriChannel so its 6 or 3....) and the X58 motherboard. This meaning it will support SLi and Crossfire.
NOW. I have a problem. I can not separate Nvidia from ATI and that is why i need your help. Below you can find what i will be doing with my pc and other notes.
- Gaming on a 22"/24"
- Using a 19" on the side.
- 3DSMAX
- After Effects
- Fireworks
- Folding
- Wind Tunnel Stuff
- More video editting
- Showing my beast off.
So now im thinking i need (rather want) either SLI 280GTX's or Quad Crossfire 4870X2's.
I was very set in the middle of the year to go with ATI because the Quad Crossfire solution is obviously faster and ATI has the only dual monitor support. But now that i know Nvidia cards will have dual monitor support in SLI and i can use them for massive folding at home and with the new Adobe CS4 and video encoding faster than my Quad core ever could, im torn.
Also, 4870X4 = $1300
SLI 280GTX = $1000
Please, what the **** do i do.....
