2 gtx 295's for 100$?

[Cheesy]

Is this a good deal? Im making a second computer with some old parts so my friend can play when he comes over.

Dual 295s? That's quad SLI 285s. You better have a 1500W psu laying around somewhere if you want to run them. Also vram will be a major bottleneck if you intend on playing above 900p.

Dual 295s?

ya for 100$ for both

[it24]

no.

Go for it. The performance of 2 295s would be the same as a GTX 660 Ti

[nsyedhasan]

It would perform about the same a GTX 660 I think. I would say yes, if you are willing to deal with heat and power consumption.

[AMICLG]

I wouldn't unless you want to buy a 1000 watt psu which are expensive, you could probably find two 460s for that price.

[Judahnator]

I would stay away from it. It may seem like a good deal now, and yes they are powerfull cards. But they will become obsolete fast. Besides, the heat and power consumption... It hurts just to think about it.

 

If its a "because i can" thing, where you can tell your friends your running quad-SLI, i can understand that. Gaming on them would be tough though, as someone already mentioned the VRAM will bottleneck you.

Even if you disregard the vram issue it doesn't support DX11,which is a huge no-no considering modern games are beginning to remove DX10 support.

[NinjaStyle013]

No dont man the cost to power and keep them cool will be equal to just outright buying a 660. I would reccomend a 260X so you get amd trueaudio and yeah its a low power card. I think its powered by the pci-e slot only making it the fastest no 6-pin card ever.

[Lord Pantaloons]

Sure why not? I would, who says they have to go into the same PC? it's $50 a piece and if you used them in two other PC's the 295's would be loads better than any other video solution that costs $50.
