Default I picked up a BFG OC GTX260 192sp for $135 total new at Bestbuy.
Was it a good deal in itself and is going from SLI 9600GT to a 192sp GTX260 & a 9600GT for dedicated physx GPU worth ~$85? [$135 minus what I can sell the other 9600GT for]

God yes, that is quite the upgrade. I would say you did very well.

Congrats on the new card.

I had a set of 9600gt cards and while they did outscore my GTX260 in benchmarks they do not compare in actual use. It was a worthy upgrade.

Well, that's new. Didn't think Best Buy would ever have that card for that low.

So when I said it was a 192sp that was because I googled the number on the box, but I just opened it up and behind the big yellow sticker on the bag was a big label with the word MAXCORE on it.

Too bad I don't have time to install this for a couple of more days.


A BFG Maxcore OC [65nm] for $135.
