Hey, I currently have an i5 quad 2.67Ghz with a GTX580. I wanted to upgrade over the summer, I was thinking of getting two GTX 680's (or 685's if their out by then) and I was wondering what kind of motherboard I should be looking for for good performance with two cards as my current one would bottleneck more than one gpu.

My second question is whether 680's are even worth upgrading too or if I should wait?

And my last question is whether I should upgrade my CPU or am I alright as it is?

Thanks alot! :)

Do you have nvidia's newest drivers? If so revert back to teh 275.XX one first before you do any of that Ionusx listed.

GD1551
How do you revert? Is there a button to do that?
