6000+ an SLI 9800GTX+

to tell you the truth, I think that your 6000+ is ready being bottlenecked by your one 9800GTX+ as is. Intel seems to be far better than AMD in every respect except for price. But AMD charges lower prices lower power products. AMD also barely overclock. But yeah, 6000+ is a bottleneck for a 9800GTX+. Here is a good general concept. ATI & AMD or INTEL & NVIDIA. Just don't try to mix and match.

Naw dude, I doubt it. The 6000+ is up there with more of the 'mid-high end' dual cores. It can still kick some ass. I think anything below the 5000+ will be bottlenecked by a single 9800. Plus, alot of games no depend more on the gpu more than anything....
 
Your good. Sure the 6000+ will be a bottleneck but it's not going to be that bad. I've played almost every high end game on a X2 3800+ just fine. I am sure with a 6000+ you will be ok.

That's no good general concept, you can mix those brand whichevr way you like. Going with those combinations ain't gonna produce any better results, nor is mixing going to cause any problems. ATi has been crushing NVIDIA lately real bad, and is the choice for tons of gamers that pretty much all have Intel CPUs.

AMD CPUs aren't that bad even though they're not the best performers, as Vizy said it's still up there in the mid-high end, not the exact best performer but still pretty powerful and probably the biggest disadvantage of that thing is that it almost beats any ducted heating system.

Nvidia dominates graphics....ATI will never be able to "crush" Nvidia. Wow....ATI finally made a card that plays a game decent....Nvidia still walks all over ATI!

Dominates? NVIDIA still walks all over ATI? L-O-L... you have no clue how much trouble NVIDIA has had lately? The 4-series cards absolutely owned, NVIDIA has desperately been cutting the prices to keep their sales afloat and a fault with some of their onboard graphics chips has caused callbacks of thousands of laptops and brand-name desktops, resulting in a good deal of losses. They haven't been walking over anyone - or anything - and they're quite frankly struggling right now.

Yea, not so much. Have you seen the news lately?? Almost all 8-series and most of the 9-series cores are faulty. Nice try though.

WRONG.

It's only the 8600's and the Mobile ones. 9 series cores faulty? WTF.

Oh and ATi still needs to get a single GPU card that would compete with the GTX 280. I know you ATi fanboys would say, the 4870x2 pwns the GTX 280 but let's think of it this way, just imagine what the performance of the GTX 280 GX2 would be.

In August 2008 rumors emerged that these issues also affected all G92 & G94 mobile video adapters. No hard evidence has yet emerged to support this opinion. On the other hand, at the end of August 2008, nVidia issued a product change notification that they updated the bump material of GeForce 8 and 9 series chips “to increase supply and enhance package robustness”.

That off Wikipedia. I can't see why they would bother messing with the 9-series chips if there was nothing wrong with them...

RIGHT.

Take a look for yourself, sure it's not confirmed by Nvidia, but more and more are failing of the 8800gs/gt/gts and 9600gt models. ON TOP of the 8600's and mobile chips.

The same method of soldering was used on all these cards, it doesn't matter what chip was used, it's not the chip, it's the solder.

And no, we don't need a card that competes with the 280, if you want that performance buy a 280. For the price you absolutely cannot beat the performance of the 4870, to be competitive we do not need a single card comparable to the 280, bottom line. The price/performance ratio is exactly why ATI is dominating the GPU market atm.
