Looking to replace my evga285 sli with a single card of equal performance or better to play direct X 11 games.
Does anyone have any good suggestions that would work with my system?

Hello STaTic92,

I recommend looking at Nvdia's GTX 670, 680 and also AMD's 6950 and 6970.

***Giving the 285 SLI an edge by assuming it scales FPS linearly 100%.

GTX 285 VS 670 benchmark.

GTX670 4GB [$449.99] [Get the 4GB version if you plan to SLI]

Edit: Your power supply will be able to handle any of these cards with ease. However, if you plan to SLI/Xfire the higher models, you may need to upgrade your PSU.
