ON newegg both cards are priced pretty evenly so I want your guys' opinion. I really need a definite answer soon as my birthday is coming up and my brother will be buying me one card and I'll buy myself the other later on.

My monitor's resolution is 1680x1050 and I'll be playing on my 1080p tv once in a while as well. Basically both pairs will give me enough memory for those resolutions but which pair would perform better?
 
Hmm... At that res i would think about getting a GTX285 and then getting another for SLI down the road, or the GTX280's.
 
I definitely can't afford the extra $100 for a 285 so it's between the 280 and 275. I'm mainly concerned with performance on my monitor. Down the road I might eventually get a third so three of either would surely perform great at 1080p?

How much memory is needed for 1080p?

1GB would be at least what i would use for 1920x1080, although the GTS275 is only a 100 and some mb less. Its up to you what you would rather have, although the GTX280 is prolly a somewhat better change.
 
So then both cards work with just one card's memory buffer? Sounds really stupid. I don't see why they can't each use their own memory buffer.
