I have never been into pc gaming, but I recently got a new mac pro (8 core 2.8 ghz, 8 gb ram, 4x ati radeon hd 2600 xt) and was wondering if these graphics cards (which I got for the multiple monitor functionallity) would perform in unison, making them more or less equivalent to a 4x better graphics card for gaming, or if they are only good for multiple monitors.
If they are not good for gaming, any input as to solutions that have worked for you (two 8800's perhaps?) in that area would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
