Okay guys. I originally planned to run a couple of 670's in my system. However, after asking others' opinions on the matter, they all pointed towards AMD's cards being much better for my needs.
So, now I've got a few questions:
1. How well does 3gb of VRAM handle dual 2560 x 1440 displays?
2. What card would you pick? (7950 or 7970)
3. What brand / model of card would you pick? I will eventually be watercooling (so I need reference cards), but for now, I still want it to be (relatively) quiet. (Budget here is right around $450, which should be enough for just about any AMD card out there right now.
4. Does Sony Vegas Pro 11 support GPU assist for AMD cards? Or whatever they call it... As in where the GPU helps you render your video faster.
Also, I need (not prefer, need) a black PCB. If I put a blue PCB in this rig, I will hurt myself.
