I'm on a buget: video card
 
BTG
I'm kinda stuck with my ty video card, so i'm looking to upgrade.

i dont want to spend $1000, but a good $400 roughly will do the trick.

i'm thinking about getting two "Geforce GTX 260 Core 216" in SLI

but i've been with ATI since i was 16, so i feel a little guilty.

lol, that's a little silly ;)

if youre in the market for a new card, don’t buy two. Buy the best you can afford and then double up on it down the road if you want to crossfire etc.

i read that 2 260's are better than 1 280 and it'll be only $30 more.

then why are you here asking for my advice if you've already made up your mind?

Yea but you're future proofing more with the single one.

Why would you possibly need a card on the GTX280 range? Want to play Crysis at Full HD?

Get a single 260, then get another if you ever run into framerate issues down the line. The 280 may be slightly better, but you just end up paying for power you really don't need. A single 260 will pretty much max everything out there anyways.

AAgree, unless youre using a 30" LCD screen and want to make full use of its native resolution while gaming, 260 should be more than sufficient, and if necessary you can always double down later.
