Upgrade from GTX 260 to GTX 285 ??

[Aristhewargod13]

My system is : Cpu E6850 3 GHZ, mobo Asus P5KC, 4GB Ram OCZ 1066 Mhz, PSU Zalman 600 W, Windows XP SP2, monitor Samsung 2232BW 22".

My question is: I have a XFX GTX 260 xxx edition card. I play at 1680X1050 resolution, very high details and i am satisfied with my perfomance. I will sell my card for 220€ to a friend of mine and i will give another 130€ to buy a GTX 285 card. I saw in some forums that GTX 285 is about 22% faster from my card and 12% from GTX 280. Am i see any difference? Is it worthing, specially in Crysis which i play all the time? I also play COD, World in Conflict, Company of heroes, Assasins Creed, Kings Bounty: the Legend, Far Cry 2 etc...etc...

P.S. My PSU will handle the new GTX 285 card?
P.S.2 Sorry for my poor english

I expect your help...
Thank you!

Mate,when u are satisfied with your performance and have no problems why upgrade it ?
GTX 285 is faster but its not worth the upgrade.

"Upgrade something when u really dont get performance from it,not only because something new is out"

I have a similar system to you and I would do it. My system slows a tad in GTA4 and it bugs me. So I would.

If you really want to upgrade get the GTX 280 for cheaper and overclock it to the GTX 285s stock speeds (very small OC) and save yourself $50. The GTX 285 is a total joke. It runs slightly cooler and is factory OC'd, just like the 9800 GTX was ridiculous when you could get an 8800 GTS 512 for cheaper.

Ha, same here and look at my system. don't let it bug you the game is total **** on the PC.

Nah, I would wait for the next gen card.

Not worth it. Wait for a significant bump, not just a slight improvement. The possible exception is EVGA's step up program, but that's a special case.

Spitfire7,GTA IV PC is a poorly optimized game it has problem with all cards,i cant run it well with MY 4870x2 either.
