Making a new tread, sorry about hijacking the other one :) I was thinking of upgrading my linux PC which now runs a gtx 260 with 2 cards. Would you say I should go for 2x 680 or, since there comes new cards often, there's a better option? Well I wish I had unlimited budget, but if we stay in the price range of a 680 card, would that still be the best choice at the moment? |

770's are similar prices here at least and in theory should be essentially a 'tuned up' 680. I dont know about AMD/ATI's though :) |

770s are you best bet then i would say if you want 2 around a similar price to 680s |

I would go with either of the Nvidia GTX770 or GTX780. Both of these cards have a 384 bit bus. The GTX760 and below have a 256 bit bus. |

Made a small mistake above, GTX770 is 256 bit (checked against all 7 evga gtx770 models) cheers |
