    Exactly. If you already have a c216GTX260 or a 280, the 285 really isnt worthy of calling it an upgrade IMHO. I was going to get the 295 as my 260 is @ evga for RMA, but they told me a 55nm GTX260 would only cost $7.00 + shipping, so im doing that, and not even thinking about the 295, as i've had the 9800GX2, 7900GX2, and were lack lust in games, and longevity and support it seemed. I dont think there dual pcb cards are really worth while.
    Nothing anymore

    I have 2 260's not the 216's that will be stepped up to the 285. I was thinking about the 295 but I'll pass.

    Since people have said the gtx285 is not enough of a step up for the 260 core 216, I might go up to the 55nm version in hopes of a better OC, but I think I'll skip this "generation."

    I have a simple questions guys while we are on the subject. I know it ain't the right place but...

    I haven't been around and ain't updated on new stuff but i sure am getting back to it...

    Would you guys consider a good move going from 2 8800GTXs to a single GTX 295 ?

    Thanks.

    On a side note, this GTX295 really looks awesome IMO.

    hmmm step-up to the 295 for $275 is tempting...only slightly more than just getting a second 260.
