1294795	2012-08-14 21:32:00	Hi guys, I am building a gaming rig and not sure which graphics card to go with. I was thinking of either going for dual Radeon 7770's or a single GTX 560 ti OR should I wait for the gtx 660 to come out? thanks	Nerdtastic (16693)
1294796	2012-08-14 21:40:00	If your budget and patience will stretch to the 660, I'd do that, else I'd go with the 560 Ti (or maybe a 7850).	inphinity (7274)
1294797	2012-08-14 21:45:00	will an i3 sandy bridge bottleneck those cards?	Nerdtastic (16693)
1294798	2012-08-14 22:16:00	I'd always prefer a single card over two, less stress on the PSU, less noise. Depends on the CPU speed vs game you're playing. I've got a Pentium C2D 3.0Ghz and it's never been the bottleneck vs my 6870 :)	Chilling_Silence (9)
1294799	2012-08-14 22:40:00	Nice, I will probably be using a 750 or less PSU I am going to buy a sandy bridge cpu now and a cheap motherboard so next year when the new haswell processors come out I can get a super fast processor and a really good motherboard	Nerdtastic (16693)

After my own experience with dual cards I'd leave it for those serious gamers who wan't to game at extreme resolutions and/or over multiple screens, there are a number of issues and pitfalls to watch out for with multiple card setups. For the average gamer @1080P or lower a single card is the way to go, less hassle all around. I have a GTX580 in one machine and a GTX560Ti in the other (both @1080P resolution), it's honestly impossible to tell the difference in 90%or more of games. I used to have dual GTX460's and I'd pick either of my current cards in preference to that.	dugimodo (138)
