2x 9800gtx+ sli to 1 gtx 560ti

whats the performance going to be like in comparison to what i have now? spec is the same as sig

running at 1920x1200

just really to keep this rig ticking over for another year or so

 

I'd say 15-20% better plus DX11 and 1G memory.

you'd get about +50/60% increase in GPU power alone. with your CPU OCed to 4ghz or 4.2ghz with a single 560ti it shouldn't even bottleneck. if ever you can get your hands on a C2Q and get it to the same speed you may even think about getting a second 560TI it'll run just fine.

 

I highly doubt it's 50% increase. 9800GTX+ is the same as the GTS250, GTS250 in SLi is slightly slower than a 5850. 560Ti is around 20% faster than a 5850. That's what I found out. But anyway 560Ti is a good upgrade.

 

SLI 9800 gtx+ = gtx 285 if it scales 100% which doesnt happen always.
gtx285 < gtx 460
gtx 460 < gtx 560ti

get the 560ti you won't be dissapointed, you will get a fair amount of performance.

 

cheers all, been looking at core2quad extream's, can push this to 4.5ghz if needed but quad would be good (although i might as well go i7 then)

win 7 64 and 560ti it is then

 

wow what a difference ! and the best bit is the noise level is a lot better
