3870x2 or Dual 8800GT

If you are questioning going dual GPUs on lower end nice cards (budget) then I would recommend neither. In comparison to the amount of additional performance you will see the price double is not worth it.

I would say the 3870x2 as well, bad ass card. I may get one in a few months unless something better comes out.

I purchesed the 8800 GS and it is really loud, would you suggest getting the 8800 GT instead to have a more quiet card? Not only for the sound dfference but the performance as well...
