My Current specs:
I5 3570k 4.2 stock cooler
8gig of ram
Seasonic-x 660
nvidia 9600 gso 384

i currently find an offer for 2 gtx 260 for about 65-75 dollar, i think that a good buy,
i really want a hd6850 but i cant find any reasonable offers, and i dont want 7750 or 7770,
does the gtx 260 sli really that powerfull like 650 ti,560ti?

*just dont recommend me a new gpu like 560ti,650ti, it cost me more that 260 sli,
just want to spend below 100 dollar or cheaper
*i have seen 650 gold psu with oc 680 sli running 24/7
*this budget gpu just for a few month, i only playing 1440x900, still waiting 8(amd) 7(nvidia) series gpu and my fund for 2650x????p monitor next year.
 
Solution
When you keep going to the higher performance cards at some point the single card will beat the two 260 in sli. What you weant to do is find benchmarks for the games that you want to play and see what they use for video cards. You may have a hard time finding bencmarks for the 260 since it's now a very old card and not made any more.
The thing about going with the newere cards is that they will simply perform better because of the newer technology and if you have the opportunity to get a 7850 or 7870 on up then it would be better to go with one of those then the two 260's. Same with a 560Ti or 570 on up.
i think the pricing make u a little worry bro or maybe my misunderstanding, new item here coz a little expensive then newegg or any major seller, but used item get a lot of price drop, almost 80% of items.
