Man, I'm so jealous of you guys with all those POWERFUL hardwares. I'm still stuck at P4 & 384MB RAM.

srsly? do u want to remain stuck with an end of life platform???

i7-2600k is as fast as 980X...almost. and costs only 25%. if intel releases faster processors...he can buy those.

Get a pair of 580 3GB in SLI and a 2560x1600 monitor.
availibility and price. OP has gone for the best bang for the buck setup. hd 6990 + hd 6970 cfx. it costs the same as gtx 580 sli but it is much much faster.

whoa there.

as far as the 990x is concerned,X58 is here to stay for at least another 6 months till socket 1356 and 2011 are released.the 2600k indeed comes close.but then its not as future proof as far as multithreading is concerned.

gigabyte will be releasing its X58 OC that can clock the 980x to 5Ghz on air.

i will remind you that the 6990(mode 1) is slower than a pair of 6970s in CF and is only slightly faster than a pair of 6950s.

add to that a 6970 and compensate for scaling.what do you get?

something that is 10-15fps faster than the GTX 580 SLI

at XHD triple monitor the 3GB cards will win in intense games like Crysis 1 and warhead,metro 2033 because of the more vRAM required...

hd6990+hd6970 cfx (60k) mops the floor with gtx 580 1.5gb 2-way SLI (58k), gtx 580 3GB 2-way SLI (3GB availability is an issue and this variant is expensive) and only just manages to lose against much more expensive gtx 580 1.5GB 3-way SLI @ lower resolutions. (87k) wins at higher resolutions. give me an Indian website where 3GB gtx 580 variant is available.

OP has got the best performance VFM card combination. PERIOD.
