Same here! Got a EVGA GTX 285 SSC Edition coming tomorrow.

I am done with SLI stuttering and issues of the 9800gx2. I know the 295 is supposed to be better than the 9800gx2 but I still have definitely encountered less issues with out SLI than with.

Besides I think this will be cool enough until the 300s come out.

XFX GeForce GTX 285 ordered for $359 from Newegg.com w00t! I was one of the guys that ordered that Buy.com $200 GTX 280 SSC and it's on backorder. Still considering leaving it on order in case I do get it so I can resell it for $300 or so. Then I almost pulled the trigger on the eVGA GTX 285 SSC but ran across that XFX $30 off today only deal @ Newegg, so couldn't see spending $70 more for a little more speed. Can't wait to get the GTX 285, will be my first non-EVGA card since the FX 5900 and my first ever XFX card, hope I made a good choice!

Here is a quick question. Does the Gigabyte GTX295 or the XFX GTX295 include an 8pin connector? My PSU has only one which is already used for my CPU!

. Indeed indeed. My PSU has 2x6 pin for PCI-E 2.0 so the GTX295 that i'll get should already have the 8pin connector (or an 8 pin adapter) included!

Nice!

I don't do SLi or do I really plan too (at least for the next 6 months)... would I be better off with the GTX 285 or the GTX 295? (also take into consideration my current rig and driver issues that may or may not exist with the 295). If I can get even more time out of my current rig by getting a new video card I would be pretty happy... I don't yet feel the need to go Core i7 yet

Also keep in mind I have a 650W power supply. Thats probably starting to push it these days

You know.. one that is actually WORTH the money. Anyone think its worth it for my current PC? Or should I wait till I do my full upgrade later this year and wait for a new GPU Arch.?

8800 GTX was the card I was just using prior to my recent upgrade. Now that I'm using 295s, I experience no MS and the fps I'm getting are simply hands down impressive. Crysis Warhead and Crysis are officially OWNED!

If you're using a Q6600 at 3.15GHz as listed in your sig, then it won't even push a 285 to it's limits, therefore it certainly won't push a 295 to it's limits. I wouldn't bother with a 295 until you upgrade CPU's or overclock yours to 3.8GHz+.
