I'm sure they will, nvidia plans to release a new GTX275 card in August, and it will probably lower the overall sales of the 285 so it will probably receive a price drop. It's currently at $340 at some stores, so I'm going to guess yeah.

I could mention something else, but whoooops wrong forum!

Thanks rep +1. By the way, can a corsair 850TX handle 2x285 in SLI?

Well either one in SLI for about $550 the most would be ok with me. But will a corsair 850TX handle them is my inportant question bcuz it $150 or less and a good 1000W power supply is $250+
Originally Posted by The_Rocker The best bet for you at the moment would be a single GTX280 as the prices are going down big time and its 1GB of memory will hold out very well. The GTX285 is only slightly faster. You are talking like 5-10% TOPS. |
One GTX285 does great with 1920x1200. Two would be nicer though

850w will easily do one 280 or 285 but you would be pushing it with 2.
I think im pushing it with my sig rig on 900w.

I dont necessarily have to go with nvidia but as far as i've seen, a GTX 295 beats a HD 4870 X2 at that resolution and SLI 260, 280 or 285 beats a GTX 295. I am open for any suggestions though
