should i sli gtx 260 or buy gtx 295

hi guys actually i wanted some advice from you guys because i think you guys will be better to take this decision than me

well now the thing is my retailer told me today that some company gave them some orders for gtx 295 3 months ago and now they have gone bankrupt

now he has offerred me one of its card for a reasonable price(i live in INDIA so the price is about 680$ but yah its good for us after taxes and all).

now he also informed me that sparkle have actaully reduced the price of its gtx 260 after 275 hit the market

now iam selling my 360 and will get some 200$ or more and i can spend another 200$

now i wanna ask is do you guys think i should get the gtx 260 in sli (please check my board because iam not sure if it is good for sli) or should i get 295

iam more inclined for 295 because i want something new and that is high end in all respects and later in 2010 when i upgrade to i7 i will get 295 in quad sli

so any adivce for me on how i should go about this?:)

Sell the q6600 on ebay for 130-150ish and buy this- There problem solved. :)

ivan i know i should not upgrade but getting 295 at such cost is great also i dont think i would upgrade my pc after this for sometime any other advice on cards? also to master i think ill pass that cpuparaskhos_basic

Well your motherboard will work just fine with sli so will your psu. But again what games cant you run with good performance? Also I would wait because Direct x 11 and Windows 7 might be released near the end of 2009 which your gpu wont have dx11. Save up and wait for the newer gpus that will have dx 11, I think you can last awhile longer with a 260 gtx.04dcarraher

ill just think(correct me if iam wrong) that i dont even wanna sli right now coz i now after thinking i have realised that i will wait till 2010 for buying a new card and wont even sli but if any1 feels otherwise tell meparaskhos_basic

I have pretty much the exact same setup except I have the 260's in SLI. I upgraded from 2 8800GT's. The change is incredible and I am glad I did it considering I got both cards for $260 total. It's up to you but the only thing I can't max is Crysis, only 4XAA.

ok i will consider the upgrade for sli but i really wanna ask is will this setup give me these settings on all games except for crysis? 4xAA,16AF,ultra high or high 60+ fps at all occasions if this is wat it is i will be quite cool to buy it but if not ill wait for 300seriesparaskhos_basic
