Well, i wanted to play on max settings on 1680x1050 22'' monitor (every game thats out, e.g Crysis) with decent frames
After reading the review of a GTX 260 i found out the max i can get out of it at max settings on crysis is around 20fps which isnt really playable.
I can afford a GTX 275 EVGA or maybe even a GTX 285 (not EVGA though because they are too expensive past the 285). Why does EVGA price themselves so high? i mean a card is a card and the processor inside it will stay the same (unless factory OC'd ofcourse) but i can get pretty much the same specs from e.g Gigabyte or Gainward or Asus for a much lower price.
If i ever did want to go SLI with the GTX 260, will the case i mentioned (Soprano DX) be able to fit these 2? i like the Raidmax Ninja too.
I just saw a Gainward GTX 260 golden sample with 1792mb mem. and 216 steam processors, so i think this will be the best choice?
Thanks for your replies so far
