    Default Graphic Card Question...

    Hey,

    well...

    I've build my computer and I bought a GeForce GTX 260 graphic card.

    I was wondering if it is worth the extra 100 $ to ditch 260 and get the GTX 285? or should I get 280? or should I just not bother right now...

    My current computer specs are:

    Operating system: Windows Vista home basic 32-bit
    Ram: 6 GB DDR3
    Power Supply: 550w
    Processor: Intel core i7 290


    The reason I'm asking is because the 260 and 280 have "nVidia Hybrid power" and the 285 doesn't. Even though I have no idea what that is x3.

    I'm a noob D:

    Unless anyone else has any other idea's for what I should do to this comp ><

    Or maybe I should go for GeForce 9800 GX2 ??? its also only 100 $ extra... hmmm


    The reason I don't want the 295 or whatever is because it's fairly expensive and I'd have to get a new power supply if I wanted to put that in >_<
    Thanks...

    Hybrid SLI is what they're talking about. Its a technology created by Nvidia that allows GeForce video cards to SLI with onboard GeForce video cards (only on certain Nvidia nForce motherboards)
    So, unless you have a Nvidia nForce motherboard, don't worry about the Hybrid power.
