right now i have the EVGA 750i MoBo so i only have 2 PCI slots

i am running x2 BFG 9800GTX's in SLi

most of the games play pretty good with out much frame drop

but if i play GRiD i have to play whit x8aa during regular racing its runs great, but if i got to drifting all the smoke really pwns these cards and if i drift in a night race its really bad, im on a 1920x1080 monitor


soo short question


should i sell my 9800GTX's and pick up the bast EVGA GTX285? they are about 320 from new egg right now and i get COD lol

i want to because it will leave me room to upgrade later and run dual 285's or should i hold out for a different card?

The GTX 285 will be a fairly decent upgrade from the 9800GTX's and you can always SLI later. I say go for it.

Edit: It's only for Grid. is 8xAA not enough anyway?

right now i dont think its really worth it yet, i would say just slightly back down the aa especially if its only one game for that much hassle, and what case do you have? lol

9800GTX+ SLI is still pretty good. I would keep what you have for now. GTX285 is good but the problem you need to sell the SLI at cheap price and pay full price for GTX285.

9800gtx's dont scale too good in sli so a GTX285 will be a great upgrade.

I'd still say wait a bit longer for an upgrade. You could always back down on the AA or res a little bit, which would save you from having to sell your cards and buying the new card.

thanks for the info guys!

all that was basically what i was thinking lol

i feel that these cards are pretty good but of cores there are better lol

i think the 285 will do better but there also will be newer cards comming out

when should the next set of cards be comming out? a few months?

oh i have a NZXT Apollo case

Agreed, what game is too much for 2 9800GTXs? Unless you're running at 1920x1200 or higher with 8-16AA or something crazy it won't matter much.
