Buying a new graphic card! Upgrading from my old tri-sli gts 250 to a new nvidia card.
Now what I'm asking for is your opinion on what to buy? GTX 480? Or sli 2 460s? Or should I tri-sli 285s? Etc.. etc... Please provide real feedback and not just "Get X cause I think its SUPER!".. thanks in advance.
I don't know if this is true but, sum one said 2 GTX 460 is faster than 1 GTX 480. And where I live, I can get 2 GTX 480 for around the same price as 1 GTX 480. I don't know much about the GTX 285
Hmm. For Nvidia I think a SLI 460 or 480 setup would be a good bet.
I see you have a pretty neat PSU so you could run a SLI 480 too
Tom always has good info. on cards
I'm familiar with both sites and a few others I just want some opinions on specific cards from this user groups as this forum has a plethora of experienced people. With 2 480s I'm afraid I stilll might be getting some bottlenecking from my cpu... I've seen some impressive benchmarking with sli 465s.. so I'm just not to sure where to go.
what size is your monitor?
eh.. I have 2560x1600.. 42'' toshiba tv.. and on the desk 8 monitors

ha - nice set up. If I were you I'd consider a 460 SLI, which is supposed to rock and you can get a pair for $500.
I was considering just that.. though I am concerned about cooling.. powering a tv at such a high resolution or my monitors might put quite a stress load on the cards.. my tri-sli idles at 61c on either setup.. perhaps it is time I upgraded to water cooling for that setup
