Hey everyone I just thought I'd start a discussion about the current roster of Graphics cards.
As we know with single GPU cards, currently it doesn't get much better that a GTX 680 for 1920x1080 gaming, but as the resolution gets higher the 7970 starts clawing its way back to wear it's sometimes better than a GTX 680 at 5760x1080 resolution.
Now what I'v been wondering recently is just how much performance you can get from a pair of lower spec cards that come to the same price as a GTX 680 for the various resolutions of 1920x1080, 2560x1600, and 5760x1080.
From what iv managed to find out so far is that you can buy 2 GTX 660's and SLI them, and then end up with more performance than a GTX 680 at all resolutions and end up cheaper than a GTX 680, and also roughly match the price of a single 7970Ghz Edition and still end up with more performance even at 5760x1080 resolutions, I found some benchmarks showing this here ( http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/3129...epler-for-p179 ).
Now I'm also interested to see what AMD's 7000 series cards perform like in crossfire that work out cheaper or equal to a GTX 680 at the different resolutions mentioned before, however I haven't been able to find much info on it, so I was wondering if everyone could put their heads together and see what we can find out, and if we cant find much information maybe Hexus could put together some reviews with up to date drivers showing what kind of performance these cards put out in Crossfire or SLI.
As for a cost benchmark we could use this 680 for reference http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-e...-2x-dl-dvi-dp-
