Alright, as many of you know im not that much of a gamer, however i do play games here and there but not really enough to make use of my current setup(it does 99% folding and about 1% gaming). Ive been debating whether or not to kill the GTS250+9800gtx SLI and just go ahead and install the 5750 i won from cyberpower(was a 4850 but got upgraded due to shortage) when it gets here, because id use directx11 and such moreso than i would my SLI setup probably. Ill leave it up to you guys to help me decide:P

(Whichever i dont end up using will be going up for sale to help cover my synthetic test bed for TIM and my new router)

Or even a third option...sell either my 9800gtx or GTS250 and then also my 5750, and wait for Fermi to come out, then sell my remaining 9800gtx or GTS250 and pick up a fermi based card.

Or fourth, sell all three and buy myself a 5850.

In backthought i prolly should have added a poll, but whatever, you can post you lazies:P

In standard performance, the 250 and 5750 are pretty close to identical, but the 5750's supposedly overclock like crazy.

How do you win all this stuff? Man...

I'd go with the 5750... the GTS 250s are pretty aged and once Fermi comes out you'll be pretty far behind. The 5750 is a pretty much no loss card...

Hehe, thats my current dilemma. A single 5750 is slightly below the performance level of a GTS250 or 9800gtx,but its directx11.So in a sense its basically gonna cut my performance in half or so, but its DX11.(Two gts250's meet/beat a single 285).

Right now ive been leaning towards selling 5750, keeping my current setup, and then selling it out a few months after fermi comes around. Honestly right now if i could id pick up another 5750 after selling my nvidia's, but i aint gonna go through the hassle of buying a new motherboard and such.
