2xSLI GTX275 vs 2xSLI GTX285

pretty close, I'm gonna show you the single card performance you can see how close they are:

Crysis WARHEAD:


Far Cry 2:


Mass Effect:


once you are in a dual sli, your performance will be over 80fps, at which point fps won't really matter much cause the difference is very little. meanwhile the price difference is huge.

what resolution will be gaming at? why not just post your ticket number here and let us refine it for you

What I would like to know is it worth the extra cost to go with the 2x 285 GTX or 2x 275 GTX. I will be gaming on a 22 inch monitor at 1680x1050. What I am trying to ask is the upgrade to the 2x 285's is $400. Will I see $400 worth of performance increase?

Also why is digital storm not offering the cooler master V10?
