Simple questions (maybe)
- but i really need it spelled out, i might be slow on this... :-)

1 question:
Are 2x Evga gtx 670 "superclocked" 4gb faster than 1x Gainward " phantom"gtx 580 3gb?

And 2 question:
Are 1x Evga gtx 670 "superclocked" 4gb and 1x Gainward " phantom"gtx 580 3gb, able to work together in OR, combining their powers?

Thx in advance

1. yes, two 670 will outperform one 580 =)
2. yes, they will work together now.

pluss if You choose 4gb model You get 1extra gb of vRam,
ability to put more materials, less heat, etc.. =)

cheers.

p.s. workin' together You'll be limmited by 3gb & texture count that fits to 580..as scenes should be loaded to both cards =) so if You work with heavy scenes one of Your card might fail from time to time =)..
