Upgrade

[Gazza123]

Im currently looking at upgrading my graphics card.

Currently i have a XFX Nvidia 8800GTX and im looking to upgrade to
XFX Geforce GTS250 1GB DDR3 x2 or
XFX Geforce GTX285 1GB DDR3 x1

The games that would mainly be play are Fallout 3, Crysis, WOW and possibly Aion

Other system specs are
Mobo: ASUS P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe
CPU: Intel T6600 2.20 GHz
RAM: 4GB DDR2
OS: Vista

Any advise would be great. I just dont know how sli would run the games i play compared to 1 big card

Thanks

Gary

+1 For the 5850.

As shown above, the 5850 is faster, cheaper, more advanced and generally better than a GTX 285 which itself is roughly equal to a pair of GTS 250's.
