Could/did you include single GPU runs of the 5750 and other cards? I was looking into a single one for a build as soon as my computer fries itself :9

Excellent

. Some impatient questions again =]

You seem to have ample space for everything - what case are you using and what motherboard? When you plug in the 5870, how many PCI slots does it end up occupying?

So where are the test results?

Your article needs more pictures and could definitely use more words.

**jason_jinx** · 02-08-10, 07:51 PM

The plan was never to write a article.

I like to put out the raw numbers that get the job done.

For anyone wanting to use this information come purchase time its all here.

Enjoy.
