My current rig had 2 EVGA GTX 260 SC'ed in sli. It seems one of the cards which I bought new a few years ago has died. Some things I'm considering. First sell my working GTX 260. I'd get maybe $75.00 for it and then buy a new GC. Or, buy a second 260 SC'ed off ebay to keep the setup that I have. That would be cheaper than a new card in the performance range that I'm looking at. Third, buy two 260's used off ebay and 3 way sli. Still cheaper than a new card.
A couple of months back I was thinking of getting a new card. The consensus here seemed to be to stay with what I had until the newer cards come out in a few months hoping for a drop in current card prices. Some also said since I was sli, the performance gains of a new card in the $250.00 range would not be that great over what I had. Would opting for a 3 way sli offer any performance advantage over a newer card? Any opinions?
