Yea, as the title says I'll be using 2 GTX 460s in Sli mode, for being more specific 2 Gainward Gtx460 Golden sample( 1GB Video ram) with 6GB ram( dunno speed) and an i7 930 @ 2.8Ghz. And my question to you guys is will it run Crysis 2 and other performance taking game (at pretty high resolution and settings :) )?, I'm primarly a WoW player but I play other games too. Screen size will be 3 22" screens with 1680x1050 max resolution, and another quick question :roll: , I dont need 2 DVI and 1 display port? Will it work with 2DVI in 1st card and 1 in the 2nd? Thanks in advance :) and sorry for any misspells / bad grammatic, I'm from sweden so I've really haven't studied english for a long time :/.

first off im laughing second yes it will most likely run crysis 2 but at a fps of around 40, if you haven't bought the 460s yet, i would go with another card with slightly more VRAM and one that is a little newer, ie gtx 570.


if you do have the 2 460s
open up the original crysis, or crysis warhead, run the first mission or ice maps, and give me a fps recording, i just need something to work with,

for the other questions regarding screens and ports, i dunno, wait for another post because i couldnt be bothered GOOGLING it ;)

also head down to the introduction forum and .... introduce yourself?

here is some alpha or something gameplay with 2 6970s but at a ridiculous res

Yeah, I havent bought the screens for it :p, but I have the Pc. And I don't have any crysis game atm, but I'm getting Crysis 2 so. And You can't do Nvidia Surround with just 1 card right?

download the demo or, visit steam, d2d or even drop around to your local game store it only costs $10 here in aus, so your probably gonna get it for a bargain if your a yank

if you can afford it, maybe 2X 6950's ( 2gb version ) would be a better choice cuz they have more VRAM

I third that motion. I just setup 2 x 6950's with unlocked shaders, and slight OC. They handle 5760x1080p crysis, BFBC2, etc at very nice framerates on very high settings. They stay cool and quiet, and they're just plain wicked. My GTX 470's are in their boxes waiting to be sold, but I doubt anyone will want to buy them at this point.

I put them on craigslist for $200 american. They're EVGA GTX 470's. They're pretty much brand new. I bought them for a build at the beginning of february but ended up not using them. I would have returned them but it was too late :\
