Okay, it's back to the graphics cards, AGAIN.
Right now, it's between SLI 9800GTXs, and 4-way HD3870 Crossfire (so 2 HD3870 X2).
Obviously, the ATI cards are more powerful. BUT, there are the drivers and the optimization problems.
Sure, in many games, the ATI cards easily outperform the 9800GX2 (it has very near performance to SLI 9800GTXs)
However, in others, they just suffer:
Now, I'm asking, do you think once there are better drivers, that the cards will perform better in games like CoD4, or do you think it'd be better to go with the 9800s?
Also, do you think 4-way Crossfire is really necessary? Is the difference between 3-way and 4-way that noticeable?
Thanks, and sorry for making so many similar threads
