BFG 260 GTX

[ChrisLandin]

Hiya guys,
Im needing some help on this one. I currently run 2 x 8800gtx in sli and im thinking of selling them on and buying a BFG 260 GTX. Do you think this is worthwhile? I only ask because if I do this I will purchase another 260 later on to run in sli again! Also I hear a lot of people using a lesser card as a dedicated physx card, is this worthwhile I mean, would I see a huge difference if I ran 2 x 260 in sli and also a 8800gtx as the pyhsx card.
You help and advice is greatly appreciated

Well you'll certainly see a difference between your 8800 GTX cards to the GTX 260's, hands down. From what I understand about adding a dedicated PhysX card, it does off load the physics operations from the GPU's, but then they have to turn right around and render those operations so you're kinda back to where you started. The overall gaming experience will be better visually though

Unless you are going to buy 2 260s straight away you gonna see a decrease in performance. You really need to see when you are gonna add that second card , if its in the next few weeks maybe its worth it . If your talking months maybe it would be better to wait.
