    So really, it narrows down to the micro-stuttering, just how bad is it... If it's not too bad at high-resolution(unnoticeable in other-words), then I may once again have an ATi card in my system. As against multi-gpu setups as I happen to be, I can't ignore the performance difference between nvidia and ati this time around, plain and simple.



    Nice to hear. Obviously I(as many others would as well) would like as many confirmations upon this as possible.
    PCGH did a MS test and found that MS only occurs when the average FPS drops below 40FPS, which doesn't happen even at 2560 resolution with 4xAA 16xAF in most games.

    Crysis is the only game where drivers are lacking at the moment. Beyond that, there is little comparison between GTX 280. The X2 is faster than GTX 280 SLI in games at high resolutions and high AA.
