Thanks for the reply Stub, yeah i knew from that start I was gunna have problems with SLI and CLOD, I guess we're all in the same boat with that one until 1C/Nvidia get their fingers out and sort it all out.

I used to be an an ATI guy then switched to Nvidia a few years ago and have generally found that their drivers and interface are a lot easier to get my head around were as Catalyst Control Center always felt like it was always a hassle to get around and set a decent profile with. Perhaps its time I look at ATI seriously again, the computer's very new so I'm gunna keep the duel 680's for now but in a year's or so time I might look to replace them if they're not pulling their weight.

I've yet to really test the computer to be honest, I only had it for a day before I went on holiday so I don't really know hows it runs anything yet, although apart from CLOD I'm hoping it should smash pretty much everything else I throw at it, I tend to play a lot of sims ( FSX, ROF ARMA, iRacing ect ) I don't think any of those will really have a problem with that res except maybe FSX, but I guess until I try it I won't really know. I've also got a 240 Gb SSD for the OS so it should generally run well and I've just ordered a Western Digital VelociRaptor 1TB HD for games so I don't think I'll have any real problems in that area.

again cheers for the help Stub, still I am starting to wonder if that higher res is worth the potential trouble it could be, more research is in order I guess :/
