GFX for shuttles

[Bradmax57]

I just bought one of the new X38 shuttles and am thinking what to use GPU wise, was thinking either 2 x HD3850 512mb's or a single GTS 512 just cant decide

Any thoughts? will be run at 1920x1200

Which OS? What games?

You'll get very near scores from a pair of 3850's compared to a single 512 GTS.
Rule of thumb is xfired 3850's =1 8800gtx or near as dammit.
For the money an 8800GT is the dogs danglies,quite quiet for a single slot cooling solution too.
I game at 1900x1200 on my 8800 gt and have no problems at all.

Go for the 8800GTS.

In that case I would recommend a either a pair of 3850 Cards or a single OC'd 3870 XT.

I've found that most people on here recommend the ATI Drivers over Nvidia for Vista X64.
