Is this a Decent upgrade?

[Danfalc]

Currently running two geforce 260's. They have served me well but are only dx9, the rest of my rigis nothing special but I5, 2500k 8gb of ram, it's not bad at all either.

The wonderful people on here helped me pick that rig And I never got to say thank you, so if anyone who remembers me passes this threa, big thank you it was so much better than my old pc.

But yeah I need to upgrade really and once again im limited by my budget! But I spied this which is quite cheap? I know it's not the best card out there, but would be a big improvement over my cards no?

That price I could always add another later on down the line.

This is probably the closest comparison you can get, two Nv260 are nearly a Nv295 and a 560Ti 448 is nearly a 570 which in turn is about the speed of a 480.

So good improvement in some titles and next to no improvement in others.

hope this helps.

What is your intended budget Dan?

Better minimum / average fps rather than maximums with the 560ti 448 over your current set-up. However, you would get less power draw, lower temps, reduced noise and generally smoother performance.

Thank you for the replies Seems like the gtx260's are nice little cards if they can keep pace with this newer 560ti still? I went ahead and bought it though Im starting to wonder if I should regret it, thought it would be a big jump considering it's a dx11 card where the old ones are dx9 I guess apart from that direct x change I was wrong.

Worth adding another 560ti further down the line seeing as they are cheap? Or would that be a waste of money too?

Well despite placing the order to be a Saturday delivery and paying for it, I have had an email telling me it wont be here till the eight, hoping I can cancel my order, will teach me to be impulsive.
