Single or Twin PCB

[derchris]

Hey,

I'm going to buy a GTX 295.
Now, there are 2 versions available, Single and Twin PCB.
What should I get.

Single is 2nd generation, so should be better, right?

On another note,
I use a Corsair 620 PSU.
Is this sufficent to power the card, together with my i7 and 6 HDDs?

Thanks

In all honest there is no point buying the 295 as the 300 series will be here in a month or so and will be faster for the same or less money (hopefully)

Do you really need to up grade now or can you hold on a month or 2??

If you really need to then the single pcb is the best bet.

+1

Also, are you still using the 19" monitor?
Your 8800 should run most stuff fine and I personally wouldn't get a high end card 295 or 300 till you upgraded the monitor.

+1 for upgrading the monitor first.

Thanks, but I'm already using a Dell 27".
Bought a Gainward 295 GTX in the end which I got for under 300
