What is a fair (more modern) graphics card to compare the 295 to?

GeForce 295 would be more than a GeForce 570 but not quit a GeForce 580. It would not have DirectX 11 and Tesla support.

If you are shopping for a card bang for dollar GeForce 560Ti you can always and a 2nd one later.

Your not a gamer and thinking you can get by for now with a 295 ?? Cad or something? Isnt the 295 just 2x 275's boards put together? Heck Ive been running twin 285's 1281-AR about since they been out and haven't had any need to even think of upgrading and still gaming..

granted I haven't yet tried any of the newest games but my gtx260 has handled everything I've thrown at it so I passed on upgrading it when newegg had one of the 500 something models on sale recently

if it was me I'd wait until I got a game that the card couldn't handle and then see what was available, by then they'll likely be cheaper especially if nvidia has come out with 6xx series by then
