ICYMI, Gizmodo is rolling out real time updates on the Microsoft conference and announcement: http://gizmodo.com/windows-10-microsoft-skips-a-digit-with-latest-operati-1640805626.
Has anyone tested a config with dual 6GB video cards? I realize this is a super expensive setup, and I admit I've been holding out on building (or buying built) a PC until I see the next significant step forward in gaming rigs. Is this that next big step? None of the big custom system builders -- Alienware, Doghouse Systems -- are optioning this kind of build. Anyone personally tried it? Thoughts? Is this even gonna be useful in the near future?
You mean 2x Titan Black? 2x 295X2? 2x 280X 6Gb edition? 2x 780 6Gb edition?
Don't know about Alienware but they're far from being big custom system builders, if you mean big by popular - perhaps but you won't see anything extreme in their system rigs - they sell you junk for overpriced money, just like Apple =)
Aside that you might see it coming handy when 4K or 8K will become more popular.
Honestly any of them -- I have yet to meet a single person who has ANY 2x 6GB config.
I toss Alienware in for popularity's sake. Overpriced garbage indeed. Maybe even worse than Apple -- but let's not get carried away.

Yes to all. My proof is in that, for all these games, their predescessors were released first for consoles, and then for PC: Vice City and San Andreas were both excellent on PC; RE4 made a good port; and Knights of the Old Republic was just as good if not better on PC in comparison to its Xbox counterpart.
