Wait for another 6 months & see if this cards price come down
or a better performing single gpu solution comes out @ a lower price so you can put them in sli mode @ Rs. 22-25K.

Then you can sell your existing GTX 280SSC.

If you don't wish to sell that GTX 280SSC & want some best performance or suspect that it will not be available then get another GTX 280 SSC.

===================================

I'm facing the same prob while posting but I'm using opera 9.64.

Then stick to one card for now,save money.Later on if there is a better and powerful card, you can sell this and buy that or else buy another 280 and SLI.

I've an another idea. Keep your GTX 280 SSC & use it for physics calculation only. Coz many upcoming games will support physics.

When cards like GTX 295 will be available @ Rs. 22-25K then get one as GTX 295 has inbuilt sli like 9800GX2.

Guys please comment on this suggestion. Is it worth it or not.

GTX 295 will never drop down to 20-25k range locally.The card will be discontinued before that.
GTX280 as a Physics processor is not a very good idea.

^It gives decent-ish performance...Not as good as the TRUE though...You can buy it if your not going to go past sth like 3.4-3.6Ghz

Get the one with side panel...If PSU is on the top, it will suck in the hot air coming out of the processor..
