The GTX 460 (1GB, 256-bit bus version) would be your best option, I guess?

In your case, a dual GPU card... yeah. CrossFire stuff needs patches for everything. This is why I don't like multi-GPU. NVIDIA's solution is more stable in this regard, I'll agree with you there--but from what I've heard, it's not perfect, either.

Hmm, well the problem with single GPU cards is that there's a maximum amount of performance that can come out of it. I love PC gaming and did opt for something expensive this time around, so it was kinda my only choice. I would still feel safer with an Nvidia card and would probably go for an SLI setup rather than a dual GPU card. I realize that dual GPU cards have issues sometimes, and won't fault AMD for that.

I've considering selling this card and getting the setup I'm looking for, but I'd lose about $300 being that it's used, despite working like it's new. Blah. Just not worth it, that's an awful lot of money to be throwing around for preference.

I don't even hear it during graphic intensive games like BF3. Only fans I hear are the 4 fans on my case and even those aren't that loud on Middle speed :P***

lol, well you don't turn your fans up all the way. I don't either, it gets loud when you turn them up all the way. If you just let it go automatically, you only have to hear it under maximum load, which is acceptable. It's kind of like a loud yet powerful engine, in a way. Something about hearing it push with all its might is appealing.

I see. I have made my decision. Because of my price range, I have set the goal to the 6850. Thank you everyone. Now to actually make the money (by selling old games. :D ).
