What's the best video card for gaming?

I'm thinking about a 3-way sli of EVGA GeForce GTX 280 cards in my next build. does anyone else have a suggestion? Money is no object, i have been saving for this for a long time.|||You are on the right track by selecting an nVidia setup over ATI. Having used several of both and using an ATI card for the moment I think nVidia is better. I think most people will agree as well. So what ever the best card is right now I bet it will have an nVidia chipset... It does look like the 4870 X2 is more powerful than the GTX 280 but you can't use 3 of the 4870 X2's together like you can with the GTX 280, only 2 of the 4870 X2's in Dual Mode CrossfireX... But you can use 2 or 3 GTX 280's with SLI...|||4870 X2 is better than the GTX 280. If you look on Newegg, there are some motherboards that support more than 2 video cards for Intel processors, but if your going to get 4870 X2s and crossfire them, you cannot use an nVidia chipset on the motherboard. I would suggest put as many 4870 X2s in your motherboard as you can. ATI is definitely beating nVidia right now, the 4870 X2 is better than 2 GTX 260s combined. And yes you can have more than 2 4870 X2s, as long as you have the right motherboard.
