Hello everyone,
This is my first post here, and I apologize if it's been asked before. I've found a couple threads concerning the question but none that answer my exact question so I figured I'd join the community and go ahead and ask.
Basically I have 2 MSI GTX 260s running in sli. Q6600 running at 3 GHZ and 8 GB ram if any of that is relevant as well, 1920x1080 and up to three monitors depending on what game I'm playing or what I'm doing. I've noticed lately that my 260s are finally starting to lag behind and I can't max a few games coming out in the recent past, not many, but a few. I think this is laregely dependent on whether the game is optimized for SLI rather than my cards not being able to handle the game itsel, but I'm still looking up upgrade. My question is what is my best option. I'm looking to spend about 300 or less possibly slightly more. I've looked at both 560s and 570s and they both seem like good options. ATI/AMD cards ARE an option but I'd like to avoid it because my current motherboard only supports SLI and not XFIRE and I would like to have the option to add a second card to sli in the future. Should I look into a 570 for a single card solution that will last quite I while, I'm sure if I'm patient I can get one for close to 300 or less. Or should I grab a 560 and be able to pick up a second one much more quickly than a second 570? Are there any other cards I should be looking at? What should I examine in terms of possibilites in that price range. Will any of the 6xx series be worth waiting for? Any help is very much appreciated.
