bottleneck ?

[green-eyed-bandit]

im planning a i7 930 build and im trying to figure out if i should go with 2x 275 or 2x 260. i have 1 of each now so i would only have to buy 1 more however the reg evga 275 896 is not in production anymore so i would have to go with a bfg 275. my current pc has a core 2 duo e8400 3.o and the 275 bottlenecks on it unless i oc a bit. any thoughts on what 2 will give the best performance in sli for the i7 930 with a lil oc...please help ,thanks in advance

Two 275's would easily outperform two 260's.

What resolution is your monitor?

What resolution is your monitor?

1920 x 1200

Odd, a high clocked dual shouldn't bottleneck with any single GPU at that resolution.

Anyway, if it's just a planned build, wait and see what happens with the 4-series launch. You might be better off selling the 275 and 260, and using the cash to buy a new 470 or 480. Just a couple weeks to go.
