SLI or New Graphics Card?

[Hessian]

I've currently got a BFG GTX 260 and I'm wondering whether it would be better for me to get another card to SLI or to get a newer generation card? With regard in particular to graphics power vs price.

Price/performance SLI would win hands down.

The question is do you want DX11 and the added feature set of the next gen cards?

DX11

This is my only reservation with not going for an SLI setup. Any idea on how much the 200series of cards will come down on the 26th?

no one can tell you, but on release day itself, probably not much. Since the 4 series will come in at inflated prices. Once they settle, it all depends on the prices they are aiming for, with 480 @ 400 and 470 @ 300 they could easily push the other cards prices down pretty damn low. but if they randomly came in at 600 and 500, then it wont push them down much.

if you can find a cheap 260 go sli for sure, great sli cards they are.
dx11 is nice , but who really really really needs it? really?

I guess you're right. I'll wait a week and see what happens with 200 series cards then. Thanks for help guys.
