Gamers searching for the fastest single GPU don’t really have too much to choose between. Nvidia’s new GTX 480 top-o-the-line card is a beast both in performance and heat output. Once card by itself is priced north of $500 and as well all know, shortages and demand will drive that price up dramatically. But what if 1 apocalyptic card isn’t enough? What if you need four?
