it's the end of next week so i can wait

the 260's seem like a "happy medium" between the choices :P

the 260 sli setup is still scoring highly against the competitors only really beaten down by the 280's running in sli in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R bench it is only 6 fps behind the 280's and 10-11 fps behind the 280 and the radeon in RD:G. In fallout 3 the sli 260 setup does get raped at 8xAA but...

I've been looking through a lot of real world benchmarks, the reviews on the anandtech site and some good reviews from here http://www.hardocp.com/ also. there really doesn't seem to be a huge difference in performance @ the 2560x1600 resolutions there is a shootout here...

the board is an sli board though so i would need to get a xfire board :(

i would prefer to make sure i go with the right choice though i don't want him to be struggling playing games or new releases. It's bad enough when he comes to see me he steals the comp for several hours to play crysis warhead lol

looks like it keeps coming back to the 295 which is around £450. going the route of 2x 285's is in the region of £700, for just over that price i could get 3x gtx 280's or would 3x gtx 260's be better than 2x 285's or a single ? apologies for all the confusing questions just want to...

The system is a qx9650, evga 790i board with 4gb ram. It is oc'd to 4ghz

Ok cool, this was a primary concern as i remember people saying that they had issues with their 9800gx2's when running high res high AA and running out of video mem hmmm is the 295 classed as also havign a pure 1800mb ram ? or is it 2 sets of 900 ?

there is a pretty substantial price difference though jumping up to a 295. Is the gtx 285 classed as having 512mb per card though ? as for the radeon my brother likes to leave his system on to fold as we've known a couple of people to pass away from cancer and i've read that the any...

Hi there. My parents are buying my brother a 30" monitor for his birthday and i would like to get him a nice graphics card upgrade. I was wondering what would be better between http://www.bfgtech.com/bfgrgtx2851024oce.aspx or 2 of these...

that is what i figured. the wattage according to my monitor is only around 600w at load when gaming.

hmm thanks for the input i will look into that. someone recommended maybe i upgrade my psu to a 1300w + any thoughts on that ?

no one got any info on this :*(
