Other than DX11, is the framerate upgrade worth it?
Thanks for the information and advice everyone!
I'll stick with my GTX 295!
Good idea for now. I was very happy when i went from my previous GTX275-x2 Sli to GTX480 (very good increase in FPS, less Spike, etc etc..). But, i'm still missing more DX11 games..
Single Card is always better than SLI.
That's not what people say when they Sli GTX 275 rather than buying a GTX 295.
GTX 275 in Sli = Faster and cheaper than GTX 295. So, no. Single cards are NOT always better.
if you ment that GTX 295 is better than GTX 260 in Sli. (considering that GTX 295 is two GTX 260's) Then Yes.. but the price/performance is not exactly "better" when you can Sli two GTX 275's for less price and higher performance.
GTX 275 in Sli is about 2-5% Faster than GTX 295, and MUCH cheaper in most places.
Straight up comparison probably a gtx470.
But I would get two gtx460's and SLI them. Thats way stronger than a single gtx480 for the same price. A huge upgrade from a 295.
Well, it's still good for a low end card. You get decent basic performance, and I got a cheap one on ebay for only 15 bucks. I squeezed a 3dmark score of a little over 6000 out of it with only a 2.8GHz Pentium 4 after overclocking it to its maximum at stock voltage. 6333, I think. It's still no 7900 GT, though.Yeah an 8400gs is crap, but Nvidia sold a butt load for some reason.

I'm only asking because my GTX 295 is dying and eVGA doesn't make them anymore. So they're probably gonna upgrade me. I just wanna make sure they don't low ball me.
They upgraded my little brother's 7900GT to a 8400GS or some crap like that. If I would have known, that would have never happened. That 8400GS was a hunk of crap for power. DX10 yea, but no juice!
Oh yeah, that was 3dmark 03. Hehe....No offense, but BS. I only got a hair over 6k with an overclocked 9400gt and an Athlon dual core which would both be a lot stronger. You must not have had it on default settings or something. Were you running 800x600 or something?
