To SLI GTX 295s or not to SLI GTX 295s

[Mike_182]

What do people reckon? Do it? Or wait for games that can challenge just one of them and then buy it's replacement?

Will be running a 27" Dell monitor at 1920x1200... Then when I get the new gaff it'll be running a 1080p projector, so AA/AF will need to be up to scratch.

Do it mate, you will regret it

Hmmm right now I reckon one would be enough at 1920x1200. We also don't yet really know how well they will scale, do we? Also you better have a f**k-off processor running at silly speeds or I'd imagine they'll suck it dry TBH.

Worth a shot though

I definitely don't think you'll need two of these at 1920x1200.

a single GTX 295 was fast enough to conquer 2560x1600 and ultra-high graphics settings in every game except Crysis

Some good info in there covering pretty much all the high end options with the current fastest cards, including CrossfireX, SLI, Tri-SLI, and Quad-SLI.
