Official "I just got my GeForce GTX 275, 285 or 295" thread - Page 2

I am wondering if this would be a decent upgrade from my 8800GTX...

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.?

You would definitely see a huge performance increase.

Since when have the 285 and the 295 been out???
I haven't heard anything about this. I better crawl out of my rock.

I won't tell you how to spent your dough.
I had an 8800gtx prior now residing in my son box, and this would be huge upgrade.
The power is there and your 3.15 quad has enough power. Just my 2 cents.

Hmmm.... wonder if my 650Watt PS could handle it though...

Hope the price comes down a lot since the 280 is selling for under $300 now.

Will I be able to use my EVGA Step-up Program to trade my GTX280's in for GTX285's ?

Yes!

Humm, less power, less heat, possible higher clocks and maybe step up to factory water cooled cards. Now I have to decide.
