I am preparing to buy an Alienware Aurora with an Intel i7 920 clocked @ 2.66GHz with an 8MB cache and 12GB of RAM. The only problem I have come to is choosing a GPU. My choices are:
-Single 1.5GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 480
- Dual 1GB GDDR5 ATI Radeon™ HD 5770 CrossfireX™ Enabled
I plan to play games such as Combat Arms, WoW, EVE Online, Starcraft II, Guild Wars and so on. Which of the two above graphics cards would provide higher stable frame rates? I assume the 1.5GB Nvidia GTX 480 will simply because most games aren't configured to handle SLI or Crossfire. Any thoughts? Please provide a link to where you found your information.
Thanks in advance!|||The GTX 480 is consistently a little faster, compared to two Radeon 5770s in Crossfire:

However, considering that current street prices put a pair of Radeon 5770s at about $140 less than a single GTX 480, the performance of the Radeon 5770s in Crossfire is very respectable, only a little slower than the GTX 480.
Do you have an option for GTX 460 1GB cards in SLI?
(Also, you don't really need 12GB RAM. Get 6GB, and spend the money on something else.)|||If you plan to play only those games, choose cheapest option. Even single HD5770 can run that games..|||I would recommend you to buy ASUS Geforce GTX480 PCI-E 2.0 1536 MB DDR5 Graphics Card
