Hello,

DUAL GTX 570'S VS SINGLE GTX 580

I was wondering what you guys would suggest would be a better investment. I am trying to run the latest games (such as BF3) on ultra settings, on a 50 inch plasma screen.

As of now, I am leaning towards the dual 570's, especially due to the fact that I will be running games on such a large screen. I do not have the money at the moment for really any other options, such as a GTX 590. Thanks guys, let me know if you would like the rest of my computer's components.

i'd grab the 3gb 580, should have no problem maxing bf3 and leaves you a better upgrading path (1 580 v replacing 2 570's) along with sli still having issues in some games so using 2 cards can become frustrating. Also, what is your power supply? need to make sure it is up to the challenge.
 
also size of the screen is pretty much unaware to the graphics card. resolution is. anything past 1080p, will be challenged by a 580, however below or at? no real problems there.

I would go with the 580 in 2-way SLI.

What gets me is, why the hell are you using a 50" plasma as a computer monitor?
It uses way to much power and it's just way too big.
