Nvidia with tricks up their sleeves...

EVGA have announced what looks like an exciting launch for a new dual-GPU Nvidia card.
The launch date is set to 30th October, so that pretty much rules out a GT300 dual GPU board (barring true miracles).
There's a riddle, which should hint what this "new" dual-GPU card is all about.

Motherboard Chipset: Intel Broadwater G965

Processor: Dual Core Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 2400 MHz (9 x 267)

i164[dot]photobucket[dotcom]/albums/u16/SMLUN/DSC00395.jpg

Graphics: Gainward 8400GS 256mb DDR2

Budget around $200. Would like to play games like L4D [2] and Prototype in high resolution and high framerate. Any suggestions bros?

Hi I am having a dilema now. I am not sure whether to get HIS HD 4870 icoolerx3 1gb or HIS 4870 iceQ Turbo 1gb.

I would like to ask a few question please advise thanks.
My ram currently is 4gb DDR2 will this support the Card?
Should i pay more for the better cooling system for iceQ4?
Is it a good investment for long term lets say (3 yrs for IceQ4)?
IS 285 for iceQ 4 model worth or should i just get the icooler x3?
Is iceQ 4 model too high end for a casual gamer for me (Wow, league Of Legends and future games like D3 and L4D 2).

Runnig on a 24inch monitor and resolution of 1900x1600.
