agreed... i was split between the choice of gtx280 or the 4870x2... it was a tough choice... but then i weighed the options.. and looked past high fps...
i mean... gtx 280 in games is gonna be 150 fps in a game.. while 4870x2... is 200... but really now.. i won't see the difference, nor should i care!!! there will be no physical difference in gameplay....
and on top of that... i realized i only play games maybe 3-4 hours a week... and my computer sits on 24-7.... so why not do something useful with my computer!!!
and i look at it this way... folding@home can be my new benchmark... time to try to get number 1 here... lol, 2 gtx 280's here i come!!
