Buying a new graphic card!
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

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.

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
