gtx 580 or gtx 560 ti sli

gtx 580 ------------27k(msi twin frozr ii) +tax(more inclined on this)
or
gtx 560 ti sli--------2 x 14k =28k(msi twin frozr ii) +tax

gtx 580 = single gpu so can add 1 later if price drops

gtx 560 sli = better than 580 but no more upgrades

so what u think guys?

IMO buy a Single Asus Direct CU II GTX580 - 28k, its enough for a 24" now.

Later when 580 price will drop, then buy another, that will be more future proof.

Buying 2 X GTX 560 & making them SLI, will be a block of two PCI slots than a futureproof.

Don't sell your 9800GTX, use it as a PHYSX card with your GTX 580, you can play all the games @ Higher settings as well as with amazing graphics quality.

I hope your Gigabyte X58 Extreme supports tri - sli, so utilize the other one later.

Sell the 9800GTX+, get a single GTX 580. A single card is always less complicated than a GTX 560 SLI. :), though it depends on your gaming need. If you are not that hardcore gamer, then I'd say save budget and go for a GTX 570.
and I don't know what's the advantage of PhysX by keeping 9800GTX+, if you were going for AMD then it's different, but GTX 580 is a Nvidia one, so it will have it's own PhysX, may be I am wrong!

In that case, just Buy Zotac 580 or Asus 580 [ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Graphics Cards - ASUS ENGTX580/2DI/1536MD5] & no need to sell 9800, it can be used for Physx, new games have started supporting this.

Get GTX 580. Single card > multi-GPU set up, atleast for me.

If you really want to get a multi-GPU set up, then it makes more sense to go for HD 6950 2GB CF. They scale better than GTX 560 SLI. Heck, HD 6950 2GB CF is also slightly better than GTX 570 SLI. My suggestion would still be to go for GTX 580.

new games have started supporting this.
The only new game which will be supporting PhysX this year is Batman: Arkhan City. PhysX hasn't lit the world on fire unlike nVidia would like to portray. yes, even in new games too.

^^Yep, Agree, but Physx has a amazing effect on the gameplay.

As per my experience, few are listed below.

1. Mafia 2.
2. Homefront
3. Mirror Edge.

I'm not sure of others, as i played only the above till date.

oh dude, i didn't see that.

MSI runs more cooler than Asus ENGTX 580, no doubt about it.

Go with it, if available.

Get the msi twin frozrII gtx 580. Really a terrific gpu.

Though asus direct cu II is my personal fav but is pricey and has a triple slot cooler and you might face problems adding a second card in the future if your cabby is not a full tower.

Gtx 570 sli is also a great choice and is better than 69502gb cfx imo. You will also get good physx performance.

But stick with a single 580. Hassle free than a multigpu setup.

Off Topic: Golcha IT is gr8 place in bangalore to buy stuffs as well as he have stocks, but usually he charges more sometimes & refuse to bargain even.

In front of his Shop; he has mentioned " We don't sell things cheap like other, if you want can buy from us "
