    SLI my 570 or get brand new?

    Oh I see how my post was confusing. It went up to $239 again and then came back down to $209 the next day (yesterday the 11th) so I did pull the trigger, thus the "apology" to Callaway for not buying the 3-wood.

    SLI my 570 or get brand new?

    Yeah, my finger is on the trigger. It was between that and a new Callaway 3-wood but golf season is about over here, so. . . plus if that card is really worth $99 in games and I sell my 570 for a little over $100, it's virtually a "free" upgrade. That card bounced back to $239 last night...

    From what I'm reading, you'll probably need more than a 7950 or GTX 660 for 2560x1440 if you want to push the settings. I'll probably be at 1920x1080 a while longer.

    Ahhhhh. Newegg has a couple R9 270x's for sale now, one by MSI for $229 and another by Gigabyte for $209. 2GB, clocks ~ 1150.

    Yeah I'll never trust their little marked down price again. They have R9 & R7's listed but they only say COMING SOON. [Note: I think the one I was looking at had only been hiked up to $239; it was the flex and Vapor-X versions that were $279. Now, just a few hours later, the vanilla one has...

    Am I on crack or did Newegg substantially raise the prices on the 7950's I linked two days ago? The 3GB 7950 that was $219 with free games and a rebate is now $279 ??? :confused: (and they claim it's dropped from over $300)

    The 4 gig R9 270 sounds tempting if it comes at $220-ish, but so does Maxwell.

    Wow are prices falling already? http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600100181%20600286767%20600286739&IsNodeId=1&name=Radeon%20HD%207950 3GB Sapphire 7950 for $219 w/ rebate and some freebies?

    Non-starter for Sandy Bridge because it's soldered. :(

    I'm not a fanboy either way, maybe owned slightly more ATi/AMD than nVidia, but not by much. Hey, how hard was it to remove the IHS on that 3770K?

    $130-150 is what I've seen on the trader sub-forum here. Thx for the input. I'm not in any hurry.

    SLI my 570 or get brand new?

    I'm sorta outa the vidcard loop; the 570 has been pretty good to me. I can probably buy a used one for 150-ish and SLI. Is there something in the $250 range that would be better? I'm also thinking my three year old 60GB SSD boot drive is the weak link in my system atm.
