A few years ago, the recommendation (and rightfully so) was to get the fastest single card your budget would allow. These days however, after seeing how well the AMD HD6000s and the NVDA 500s scale, and how they seem to do it consistently (meaning driver issues seem to be a thing of the past), I'm beginning to think that multi-gpu is the way to go.
For example:
$225: GTX 560 versus SLI (768MB) GTX 460? I'd probably go with the 460s.
$330: HD6970 versus Crossfire HD6850? Ignoring 6950s can be flashed, I'd pick the 6850s.
$450: GTX 580 versus SLI GTX 560? I'd pick the 560s.
Any thoughts on this one?
