but i wnana ask some of the experts here that using gtx 295 at 1680 resolution isnt it a kind of an overkill iam asking coz some guys on the forums suggested to me that at this res 295 is really not worth it shines at 1920 and is really a beast at 2560x1680 res(i could be wrong but can any1 tell me this also i get 60+ fps in every game i play except crysis(i dont even play it now) should i go in for an upgrade?

wow nice info guys but now i wanna comment that 260 216 for me isnt a mid range card in any way coz if a card in sli gives me a performance of gtx 295 then i wouldnt consider the gpu to be mid range it is the 3rd best offering from nvidia right now and if u OC it u can get better results from ur card i would consider it to be more of a low high end card also i think i wanna ask is that at wat resolution are these are needed or usefull e.i. a 295 at 1680 is a waste and gtx 260 216 at this resoution for me would be a true high gen card coz going up in cards without increasing the resolution is really not worth so for me the card should be actaully usefull at the reso ur playing or it will be waste comments

i also think that any1 would go with the best the company has to offer but do u think the performance of the card justifies its price?

well guys i was just chatting with my frnds and all of a sudden we were in a discussion on which of the current nvidia cards are truely high end

my frnd owns a gtx 295 and he was claiming it to be the best card (i have no doubt that its a beast)but still the card has overheating issues and the fan noise is really insane sometimes (IMO)

he himself admits it

then i claimed gtx 260 216 to be the best high end card for price/performance and he was like ya 260 216 is really good for the price it comes and sli is even better

also i think OCing gtx 260 216 actaully gives u the performance of gtx 280(correct me if iam wrong here coz i have read it here and there)

gtx 285 is also pretty good

so i just wanna ask which card u feel is the best high end card for u in price performance ratio

also i feel gtx 280 is really weak for its price (i may be wrong)

also this is nvidia so please no aticomments?

i would say buy the cheapst gtx 260 216 core from any good company(i got when my card died a month or so ago after i recieved it i bought sparkle and i love it and awesome service my card came to me with 4 days and also with the latest version of gtx 260 216 core the VP model instead of HP and u can see my OC my card i think performs close to or equals 280(i could be wrong) so i would say buy the cheapst and OC it urself rather than paying huge money for a factory OC

HAF for me i OC my card without any aftermarket coolers and my temps at normal are like not beyond 43 at 40% fan speed i do OC my card to(see in sig) so even after that my temps dont go up even by 60 in most games very heavy games its like not beyod 65 or 66 but defenately i dont see 70 with this case so my advice buy this u cant go wrong with HAF and cable management is just awesome trust me on this took me 15 min to do all cable management

to OP i would recommend a good 260 216 core card and OC it my OC works pretty well for all games and i can say every game is like butter except for mayb crysis and that to in open areas u dont need a aftermarket cooler to actually OC ur card so yah 260 now and mayb in 2010 a new card DX11 or 295 (if it comes cheap)
