dual 9800gtx+ vs 280?

[dukio]

is it worth 400 bucks to replace my dual 9800gtx+'s with single 280???

Well dual 9800 GTX+'s would still be faster by a bit. But if you decide that you buy a GTX280 now then down the road you can buy another.

2 GTX280's would smoke 2 9800 GTX+'s. I would go for it. I mean your games will still play good with one GTX280.

i don't think you would gain much by doing that upgrade

if anything you'd be taking a step down

no, but if but if that $400 is putting a hole in your pocket, you could put some/alot of it into a high end cooling setup for those cards and see how fast Nvidia can really take its 55nm chips. That said, youd get more return out of a memory overclock.

No, it would be a pointless upgrade.

The only way it would be good is if you planned on throwing 2 of them in your machine. You'd be better off waiting for the price to drop and getting both cards at once if you want to go that route.

and by then something new and powerful would be out

My point exactly.
