Greetings all,

I was wondering if I should think about upgrading my video card. I am currently running (2) GTX 275's. I am running a 1920 x 1200 resolution monitor. Have some extra money to spend this holiday season and wanted to maybe upgrade the computer a little bit. Thanks in advance for the advice, comments.

Regards,
Mark

Is the sli 275 not giving you what you need?

if you want DX11 then there is not way around it, you have to upgrade, but if you are not that concerned about it, and the sli 275 are giving smooth gaming, then no reason to upgrade IMHO.

Fair enough DST4ME ... any suggestions for a card when I do upgrade for DX 11? Just to have the info on file for me will be great! Also, any suggestions for anything upgradeable in my system, I really don't see anything, but again, good to know kind of thing. Thanks again for the reply =).

Regards!

I'm a no nonsense type of person, my point of view is, if you are getting what you need, then you don't need any upgrades, now if you want o just get a few things not because you need them but because you prefer to have them, than that is a different story.

system looks good to me, unless you were in need of more power, your pc looks solid.

If you were to upgrade right now, I would say 570/6970, but it all depends on what games you play etc.

Yeah DST4ME is right, if you prefer an update and want DX11 then pick up a 6970, or a 570.  Single card is all you need at that resolution.
