The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[pentium777]

My problem is the meagre bandwidth increase over the 285 - 12%. And in terms of SLI well when we're talking about < 20 fps does it matter?

Well let's see Crysis 2560x goes from 19 fps (not playable) to 37.5 (playable) then Metro 2033 from 18 fps to 31 fps....

One thing is pretty clear new titles with more effects and DX11 will only have higher demand on GPU if I hadn't gotten GTX 280 SLI for my 30" Nov 08 I'd have had to upgrade already to keep playable framerates. By going SLI with GTX 480 I should have a longer time in between upgrades and not only will it be more enjoyable but either save me money or be close to break even. Remember there is a used market you can sell them when you upgrade.
