Pricing.


Idk how rich you are mate, but most people are in for the bang for buck.

GTX590 is completely overpriced and don't understand why people are getting that shit.

I agree with that, especially when 480/570/580 and winfast's 470 all out perform it

I'm personally getting sli 560ti which outruns a single gtx 580 and is cheaper

Do many things utilise sli yet?
Like is there any real benefit to getting 2?

More FPS on Ultra setting.


Might as well fully max it out when getting the game huh ? lolz. This will replace my 10 year old computer that can barely run cs1.6

BF3 is still having problems with SLI/Crossfire and has random flashing screens.

for realz ?


they'll probably fix it by the time I buy my comp anyway.

 

[weirdguy99]

how about no because new gen cards are coming out soon...

So if new gen cards are coming out soon, why are you buying current gen 560s? Why don't you wait for Southern Islands?

I'll buy a new computer once Ivy Bridge and the next round of SSDs come out. My Core 2 Quad and HD4890 run BF3 on ultra (no AA or HABO, no idea what HBAO even is) at around 50 FPS

I think it was more due to the absurdity of the price of the HD6990 (double to triple the price of ones that outperform it).

Oh, that was a joke I thought you guys would notice the sarcasm.

Because I won't be upgrading til late 2012.


Edit: I will be getting the new gen and Ivy bridge too. It really depends on the price and how the 560ti prices will fluctuate. If I can sell it for a fair price, I will sell it and buy a new gen card

But in the mean time, I want to enjoy gaming for 4 months and hence will be getting sli 560ti
