Discouraged by the lack of DX11 support for my two EVGA superclocked gtx+ 9800's, I've began thinking of upgrading for that juicy DX11 for games like Deus Ex:HR and BF3. I've been doing research like crazy, but I just can't come up with a solution as to what I want to do. I've been looking at some GTX 560's and such, but am still unsure. I have a $300 budget, and I'm looking to see a real performance upgrade.

My current specs are:

AMD 955 Black edition
Asus M4n75td (about to be upgraded to a gigabyte 990fx)
2x GTX+ 9800's
3x 2 gb DDR3
1000w Coolermaster Silent pro

What would you guys suggest I do? I'm open to any option to get max performance out of my budget.

Yea, I see them now, but the chance seems pretty small. Any card will have some risk of coming bad. I don't think the Toxic has a higher chance than any of the others.

I have dealt with Sapphire before, and they'll take care of you if you happen to get a bad card, although the chances are pretty low.
There's a two on the reviews on newegg about the fan quitting and temps shooting up to 105. There's another on there about his card idling at 63-65 and the sticker on the card being cooked. There's various others scattered around other sites as well
