      I have P8Z68 motherboard -V LX and im currently using EVGA 550Ti 1GB graphic card running 2 diablo 3 atm, but its really lag to me, so I want to upgrade
      my graphic card, but not very familiar with hardware stuff . and if anyone know any ASUS P8Z68 please let me know more detail it saids "SLI or X-fire ready". i'm sure P8Z68 can use x-fire
      and i'm EVGA fans for many many years, but not familiar with Radeon graphic card. i ask a lot ppl they said I cannot use any EVGA graphic card. except replacing my current one, if i use X2 550Ti what's longest lifetime can endure run Diablo3? (im hardware newbie)
      if i dont want to replace my 550ti what option i have? can anyone give me some detail plz
      in other hand i dont want to spend too much

      also there is new information i've been found out myself i could be wrong plz correct me if i'm wrong thanks, it just my concern

      I went to my local store computer store which selling computer stuff, they say if I can add another 550Ti that would be fine, but is any option except 550ti? please list me some nearest Radeon model graphic card or EVGA model that i can use for my 2nd graphic card. and if i replace my current one can I use the new release 660Ti 3gb graphic card? what option do i have for my 2nd one?

      once again if any of you using Radeon graphic card and very familiar with it, please list the model to me, i will be very appreciate truly my heart! ( this is just my 2nd graphic card)

      goals: i'm planning to buy and run 3 diablo3 window in next month. so please give me some tips i will be very appreciate

      P.S. sorry for bad english

      What is your CPU is it AMD or INTEL, And there is no point in buying another 550ti since you can get better with just buying 1 whole new card but 1 level up. I would suggest the nvidia 670 graphics card cheap and one of the best out atm along with nvidia drivers, I sell computer parts everyday and alot of people have problems with ATI drivers they are so bad in many ways I tell my customers to drop down the 12.0 drivers

      If your cpu is really old and your graphics card is quite new you will get massive bottle neck which means your games will lag, your cpu can not think as fast to keep up with your graphics card.

      Also are you using windows 7, how much ram you got?...the lag can come down to alot..not just your gcard

      i'm using INTEL. my other engineer friend he's IT he suggest me 670 too~ how come you both suggest me GTX670 ?
      i think my computer is smooth, just open the 2nd client Diablo 3 exe. and Yeah i'm using window 7.
      also this is my other concern, if i get new graphic card instead replacing my current one i will sell my 550Ti, im not good sell on ebay, since i'm student
      i think GTX670 is a bit much for me 200-300$ something is fine, but 400$ i have to consider it again.
      so what if I want save money keep my current one what other x-fire graphic card u would suggest me? you sell pc parts so i bet u know more about that
      just help me make sure that I can run 3+ diablo3 clients

      I went to my local computer store, they're sell computers part as well, its manufacture very cheap, just like i bring my question about running 2 diablo3 he suggest me add another 550Ti, or replacing any new Graphic card, but they dont have Radeon on stocks right now, so if i want x-fire can you tell me what option have thanks? I'll consider GTX670 and 660Ti

      can you tell me more about 660Ti i'm kind of interesting thanks for your help your information very helpful
