then go ahead with the GTX 280 although I think buying a card for a single game is erm a lil crazy.yesis the 4870x2 the same sorta deal as the 9800x2
its one card with 2 gpu's
so that still counts as sli
But more then likely it will cost more then a 280 gtx to buyGTX 290 is cheaper for nVidia to make, nothing else![]()

so there wont be any performance differences?
