    New Rig - what video card?

    Hey everyone,

    I am looking into building a new rig sometime soon and wanted some advice on video cards. I think I want to do SLI or Crossfire but this is not really set in stone. I have been looking at two of the 2600XT's or 2900GT's. I want to spend somewhere around ~$250 total on the video card. Is Crossfire my best option here? What do you guys think? Thanks!

    John

    don't bother with 2600's they are useless for gaming.

    Want size monitor are you playing on?

    I'd look at a single nvidia 8800GT or Ati HD 3870. Best bangs for bucks at the moment.
