Ok, its about upgrade time IMO for me. My 8800GT KO i think is about pushing its limits, and newer Games like GTA IV, and COD5 etic can't be played on WOT.
I think its about time to Upgrade, with the card pushing 2+ years now. Im asking for a multitude of questions and im wondering for you input.
Ok, i added a poll but here is a list of the 4 Polls anyways.
1. eVGA GTX 280 SSC Edition LINK
Core 648 Stock Price $354.99
2. eVGA GTX 280 SC Edition LINK
Core 621 Price $339.99
3. eVGA GTX 280 Plain LINK
Core 602 Price $324.99
4. I wait for the prices to drop even more, but risk the cards being sold out.
5. Do not upgrade at all/keep current 8800GT KO.
If you want real price its about $35 bucks between tax and shipping.
I am looking to future proof at least another 2 -4 years before upgrading cards. My PSU is a OP800 Watt with 66a on the +12v rail. Im leaning towards the SSC edition, but i am not sure how far each would overclock, or how the best card would be of the 3. Anyways i would be interested in hearing from GTX 280 owners, and what editions they have and how far they overclock, and more importantly the temps that the card runs. Also ide like to hear any problems as well.
Ive also considered the GTX 285 295 series, but i think that unless the prices are the same, there is no real advantage. The GTX 285 from what ive heard is about the sme speed as the GTX 280 SSC edition. Is there any accuracy to this?
I know its alot but thanks in advance.!
