post #1 of 75
Thread Starter 
Alright, its that time.


Buy another cyclone 460 1g, OR a solid state hard drive?

All I do is game, mostly BC2 currently.

Anything other than a second GTX460 is silly. You will see a massive gain in framerates.

Another 460. SSD won't give you a gaming boost like a SLI set-up will!

SSD.

If you had a bigger monitor, I'd say the 2nd 460, but since you don't, SLI isn't as needed.

An SSD will more than half your game loading times. The second GTX260 won't.

The SSD will not affect gaming performance. It's not worth half the boot time when you can have TWICE the frame rate.

but why get 11000000000000000000000 fps when one 460 is doing fine?


I see no need for a 2nd one...
