I do have the option of going the SLI route, since the mobo is an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe (with X2 4400, 2x1Gb OCZ Platinum, Seasonic S12 500w and Raptor X). So you guys reckon 2x9600 is better than a G92 8800 GTS now and then another one when I change mobo/cpu/ram in 6-9 months time (going back to Intel for my next setup, of course)?
I am not a huge FPS fan, I like the occasional TF2 match, some good SP FPS campaigns (NOLF2, HL2, Bioshock). I mostly play RPGs, MMORPGs, here and there some driving games. I pretty much hate Crysis gameplay-wise, so that one won't be an issue at all.
