Sorry, I didn't mean to insult your intelligence, kinda out of hand. For all I know you could be very smart.
Should've questioned your sensibility instead and in a more congenial and gentle manner. I just what i read was
and overreacted
It's was like a week ago a saw an old man with all white hair driving down newport in a new M5 and was going on the freeway 50 mph when everyone was like going 65 or faster.....
I even read the thread wrong and thought he meant 7800gtx 256 mb, not the 512 mb that is infinitely more powerful.
Look at the single card performance and then compare to SLI.

Look at power consumption. How much heat do you think the card is putting off?
Now double that with the SLI.

Did you even see them mention overclock in the entire article? No. The card is so powerful it doesn't need to. If you overclock expect about 10 fps for a single card. I read people saying the cpu was the limiting factor on a SINGLE CARD, not even SLI.
Also from what I heard, the new drivers will help even more.
If i was overreacting, then excuse me.
I made my case now, hopefully you will consider it. I rather you make the right decision then me bash you.
From the specs I gave you, don't expect that single rad and double rad to be enough. Sell both rads and get a pa120.3 and it will make life easier.
