*Oops XLR8*


Well after i blew up my 9800 X2 I needed a replacement for the time being and recently aquired the GTX 285. Anyone have any pro's/con's that involve this card? I have a $400 budget to work with and i am not biased when it comes to nvidia or ati. RMA'd my 9800 so I have some downtime to shop around to find a suitable temp card. Thanks for you help!!

The 285 will run circles around a GX2.
So I would call it a flat out upgrade, not a temp card.

What are your intentions when you get the rma card back?
My brothers b-day is coming up soon so i might give it to him, if not, i'll be selling it. I also have a evga geforce 8800 gts 640mg rma'd at the same time. I know for sure the 8800 will be up for sell. Thing is I don't have enough seller rating points on this site to sell If I read the rules correctly. I have 3 mobo's, 3 chips, and a shiat ton of ddr2 i need to get rid of.

awesome, thanks. Just got done with elbow surgery so now I can finally type without it bothering. Its amazing how much info/knowledge is in this web site. Absolutely amazing. I always get such quick, helpful responses. i appreciate it.
My 8800GT's SLI were pretty comparable to the GX2, and this 285 is much smoother in games, handles more AA, higher settings etc...

Great single card solution right now..... I am thrilled with mine...
