If i get an 4870x2 Id have to sell 2 HD4870 that are 512ram and the GTX 260 or I can just sell the 2 ati cards and upgrade to the GTX 295 for like $250.
well, u could sell 4870s for 200$ each, so u would have 400$ then... and 4870x2 costs i dont know, 490$? and i bet gtx295 will cost arround 600$ (i mean its a double GPU solution), but it is really up to you, im just getting 4870 1gb :)
Ya the 4870 1gig is nice and does great in CF. Its just the 512mb cant keep up as good as the 4870 1gigs, GTX260 55nm, gtx285, gtx295, or the 4870x2 in multiple gpu configurations. thats y i want to sell the 4870 512mb's and use the upgrade program.
the 295 is a cross between a 260 and 280 in one card n is 2 pcb's n 2 gpu processors. the 285 is the 280 but it has the 55nm gpu processor with higher clocks. i dotn feel like telling you all the details so just google it and read the previews on these new cards coming out in the next week or two.
gd quality video. nice kit looking forward to some benchmarks xD im considering moving to an i7 at xmas its 40% faster at encoding that the same speed Core2Quad
Thats the only reason i upgraded to core i7 was for the hugh increase in encoded performance. plus it so easy to over clock, but it does get really hot even with water cooling
you make me laugh.. for some reason i could stop laughing when i saw it. something about it just made me keep laughing. good job :)

Nice upgrades. I'm so glad that the X58's support both ATI and Nvidia. Gonna upgrade my Rig June 2010 when prices are low =D

Me too, it to them long enough but its great now that intel supports both. makes are chioce and upgrade option alot better and easier.

My two HD4870's are died, so I'm going with the new GTX 295 next month.

Dude, u sure? it performs only like 4 FPS higher than 4870x2 and will cost a fortune...

wow... there already is GTX285 too? So i guess 295 is like 280x2 and 285 is 260x2?

ah, whatever, i am kind of not interested in gpus any more since i am already getting a new pc with a GPU i desired for a while now :)

No, GTX280 in SLI would outperform "single" GTX295, but by rather small margin (~5% - 10%)

why did you go with two 4870's instead of one 4870x2?

Cuz the x2 wasn't out yet, I bought those cards the day the were released.

I would love to see some encoding videos and some multitasking!
That 600w might not be enough if your going to overclock. That build along with crossfire will draw a lot of watts.

thats y i have a 350 vga/cpu psu for. im encoding some now its fast but power director isnt pushing the cpu %100 on all cores.
