Replacing a GTX 285 - with what and should I wait for what? (cliche I know)
 

Hi,
As the header really. I am running an Asus GTX285 with an i7 950 @3.07GHz.
I am wanting to use DX11
Any ideas what is my best move - -wait for GTX 580 price drop and how long
would that likely be or go for something like GTX 560 ti?
puzzled as usual but value any ideas :)
Thanks.
Stuart.

Well, it all depends on what you want to do. Graphics/video rendering?
Games? The 550-560 cards provide a goo bang per buck, esp. with an i7 950
and lots of system RAM.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply:)
Its really for game set up - - I presently have 6gb memory. I have been
running the 285 since November 2010 and see its limited regarding DX11 :(
I am not really desperate for the ultimate (nice I know) as I am trying to
be realistic with cost :)
Thanks.
