for what I understand, you should focus on a card with a maximun of ram.
I don't have acces to the beta so i'm curious if some have test a SLI of gtx ?

If you have the budget you should invest in dedicated telsa card.

There are a few GEForce 580 cards with 3GB of RAM (and 570's with 2.5GB) which will allow you to do reasonably sized simulations (300^3). If you want to do much higher than that, you'll have to look at the rather exorbitantly-priced Quadro 6000 with 6GB.
