right now i have a single gtx 460. with an i7 at 2.8 6 gigs of ram. with rage coming out soon do you think it would make a difference to run another 460?
thank you

The recommended GPU for rage is a 9800GTX.. I think you will be fine. I'd still get that other 460GTX for BF3 though (check your psu to make sure it can handle another gpu).right now i have a single gtx 460. with an i7 at 2.8 6 gigs of ram. with rage coming out soon do you think it would make a difference to run another 460?

not for $150, but for $100 id bite. You can find some people willing to part with their like new 460 gtx cards for $100 on local online ads like craigslist and so on. I liked my geforce 460gtx, it was a great card when i purchased it for $100 a couple months back. Unfortunately the scaling of the 460 isn't as good as the radeon 6xxx cards, so it will be much weaker than a 6850 crossfire setup.
That is true, but it won't have trouble maxing out games though, plus OCing.:D[QUOTE="blaznwiipspman1"]

For nvidia i think its best to stick it out with single cards, going double with them isnt worth as much as it is with amd.

At this point in time haha, nvidia was creaming AMD prior to the 6XXX series.
That's what I am doing. I was gonna make a whole new build for BF3 in Oct. with a 580, but after looking at the benchmarks:

The SLI 460s beat out the 580 in almost all situations. So now, I am going to get a second 460 and put it in my current PC and still build a new PC around mid Oct. for BF3.
My current PC is a 1GB 460, a Q9550 @ 2.8, and 4 GB RAM. The new PC will be 2x 1 GB 460s, an i5 2500k, and 8GB RAM.
