Hey guys

I just wanted to get some opinions from the great minds here at the [H]. I currently have one 260GTX. I am going to upgrade here soon, I have a 2nd 260GTX and 750i FTW waiting in the box and will be buying a Q9550 as well.

My question to you is, is it advisable to purchase another 260GTX and a 790i to go tri-sli Or should I just hold off until the new nvidia DX11 fermi? I am a graphics whore, so yes I would love the new DX11 features :) I have always been a Nvidia guy, so I'm not thinking of getting the DX11 enabled ATI.

Spend around $200 now to get tri-sli. Sell all three cards later for around $300 (hopefully) to buy new tech when I get the itch. How will the 3 260GTXs (192 core) stand up against the new cards today?
 
Simple answer, hold off. No way to predict how the new stuff will bench, but I'm pretty sure a 775 Quad would hold back the triple-SLI setup- there's just too much overhead to make it work.
