It was time for a complete rebuild for me and I was all ready to spend my hard earned cash on an ATI card, probably the 5870. Until the 460's came out. I'd never done an SLI rig before so considering the price, performance and power consumption of a single 460, this was the time to do it. And this is the second 460 SLI article I've seen that validates my initial assumption that two 460's would smoke just about anything else out there. Haven't built my new rig yet - I have all the components but am waiting on the case (NZXT Phantom) which was just released and on backorder. But here's everything else, and I'm damn anxious to slap it all together!
