GTX 260 not a question... unless price is a factor.

750W PSU can run 4 GPU's, as long as it's a high end PSU with 1 rail.

My 500W PSU currently runs 2x 3870's in CFX and an AMD Quad-Core (130W).

A processor underfull load and the largest single GPU under full load is around 25 amps. Having both under full load at the same time is pretty rare. Your mobo, RAM, and HDD spin-up draws are a total of 5 amps max. So any 30 amp 360 watt PSU could run your system easily!

You can always use the -norestrictions command to max everything out. I used the command and it runs smooth. I have a overclocked E8400 at 4.2ghz so its equal to an Q6600 at stock 2.4ghz. This game takes advantages of Quads so you might wanna Overclock your processor to get some boost.

ZipZoomfly has an MSI Radeon HD 4890 OC for $125.24 after MSI rebate, Bing Cashback and eBillme rebate.

Oh... Well that's too bad.

Edit:

Well then here's an MSI GTX 260 216 at ZipZoomfly. Use the eBillme rebate to get it down to $109.99 with the MSI rebate. If you can Bing it, it'll be $105.99 or so.

And I noticed that both your picks in OP are EVGA cards. Is that the brand you wanted to stick to?

No questions asked RMA as long as you register your product, and the step up program is nice. Although i think the 260 is already too old for that.

I only buy EVGA cards strictly, always bought from that company and have been quite satisfied so I've never seen the reason to change, and I like their policies, they are pretty legit.

I'm actually gonna try for a 1792mb 260: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130497

Comes with CoD: World at War too, wanted to try that.

EVGA has some of the best service around. I've never owned a GPU from them though, since they only release nVidia. =[

Yeah that's kind of funny, I don't know if XFX has always been releasing ATI, cause I've only ever seen them release Nvidia stuff. But like sometime last year I started seeing them releasing ATI stuff, and I was thinking I wouldn't be surprised if I saw EVGA do the same.

Brett Kuntz · Jul 06, 2009, 01:56 AM // 01:56

Yes XFX just started releasing ATI stuff not too long ago, maybe 6 months. I think EVGA will definitely be releasing 5870 stuff, as they missed out on a LOT of business with the 4800 line. ATI is definitely on top and is definitely pushing more units than nVidia, it's a bandwagon everyone should want a piece of right now. They have the better video cards because their OC tool is top of the line.

GTX260 216 core is definitely the best choice, I'm currently running GTA IV at max everything 1920x1080 resolution with my GTX260, and it's running perfectly. No lag, no jerkiness.
