ThomasW Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Great that's what i needed to know. Thanks fellas! Damn, our posts crossed. I am going to cry if you buy 3 260s or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 ^^ this. As I browsed the hardware sites today, it doesn't really make a lot of sense to get two lower-grade video cards right now. Your 4890s will cost about $400-450, and your 285's will cost over $600. I would definitely just get the GTX 295. Your performance will be much better, and you can scale it with the same card later on if you need to. Actually, if you can wait, DX11 supporting cards will be out later this year (Q3, last I heard). Just throwing that out there. as far as the card selection is concerned Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
