    1 GTX280 or SLI 9800

    so this is it. i have three video cards. 1 280 and 2 9800's. should i run the 9800's in SLI, or should i just use the single 280. and maybe a 9800 for physX with it? or just take the PhsX outta the equation.

    9800 SLI or single 280?

    9800 for PhysX with GTX280 for graphics sounds good!

    Then gtx 280 to get 1 GB vram. 512Mb is too small with 9800gtx sli power anyway, with proper resolutions.
    Overclocking, it's a lifestyle
