I bought a EVGA 790i motherboard along with two 9800 GTX's in SLI with the intention of stepping up to the next cards and now that they're here I need a little help in deciding how to go about the step up. I've read the reviews, the gains suck compared to the gx2, at least right now. But I don't really care, it'll get better, and the idea of two gpus on a single card doesn't seem as smart of an idea in terms of drivers and software support.
Here the options I've thought about and theit approximate pricing (I have a 1000W psu):
- 3 260's (~$700)
- 2 280's (~$700)
- 2 gx2's (~$600)
It's early and I know the prices will come down in the next week or so, especially for the gx2, but let me know what you guys think. I read somewhere that 3 280's were only marginally better than 2 gx2's, but that's with immature drivers. There's about 90 days left on the step up.
