SLI GTS 250 vs a new video card

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

Hello I currently have a GTS 250 and a core 2 quad q6700 and was wondering if i should just sli the 250 or get a new video card. I have an XFX 790i ultra sli motherboard. I was just hoping for other people's opinion's on this. I have a 700 watt sli ready psu. I have a budget of USD $250. I'm good with either ATI or NVidia and expecting to upgrade or add a second GTS 250 within the next 6 months.

most likely at that budget you'd be better off getting another 250gts to add to yours. to better better raw performance then wx 250gts' you'd need a least a 5850 or higher, which start right around $300, dx 11 is only appearing in a few titles and out of those only a one is usually any real dx 11 feature and that's arguable metro 2033.

So again i would say just add another in sli or wait a bit for a bit more money, to get at least a 5850

if you mean 2011 the 6xxx series and fermi 2 will probably be out sometime, it's it's really just speculation at this point, no one has any real idea what either will be like, performance or price time

Just thought of something else. Selling the 250 and buy a new one. That would give me somewhere about $325 then but I still like the idea of SLI better, plus IMO SLI 250's would have better bragging rights then a 5850 :p
