I wouldn't for the amount of money you're going to spend on it. What exactly does your GTX 260 struggle at playing other than Crysis?

first of all u should switch to vista 64 if u can before it arrives.
Nowadays games run faster with Vista.

Keep ur fan speed at auto. works perfect for me that way.

Recoomend u get a bigger monitor so that make the most of ur card.

And OC that CPU so it can really drive that card.

and don't OC right away . its freakin fast as it is

Where did u buy it? and how much was it in US$ excluding shippin?

cough havent i been telling you that too cough cough

I feel compelled 2 once again point out that it is NOT the case that SLI260's beat a GTX295 *IF* they are CLOCKED THE SAME. The difference is very small in almost all cases, and there are *rare* instances where a 260SLI setup will slightly edge out a GTX295, but by far the vast majority of benches the 295 will win by 2-5% when both setups are at the same clocks.

Want proof?

Here ya go ...

Look at the bottom 2 rows of each chart. POSITIVE values there represent the % by which the 295 beat the 260SLI setup, negative numbers mean the opposite. Notice that there are VERY few negative values on the bottom two rows of any of those charts. There's also graphical charts available on links from that page, if you prefer the visual presentation to the numeric.

And no, paras, you should buy another GTX260 and go SLI and get nearly the same performance as a 295 for a lot less money. If you were starting out with no card at all, teh GTX295 would make some sense, but not when you already have a SLI board and a gtx260
