GTX 295 or GTX 285 2 gb

[Banc]

I am trying to make my mind up between the two. Any thoughts or advice. Thanks

Id go gtx285, single card will play more games better than a dual gpu card as some games still dont support multiple gpu's at the moment.

I dont have a set budget for a video card. Sky is the limit.

Then 3x GTX285 But yeah, id still say a GTX285 as it has more memory, a full 512bit memory bus, and more ROP's than a gtx295..

 

[just a noob]

get the asus special edition 295 that is coming out, 1000 units are going to be made, but its essentially 2 gtx 285 2gb's on one card
