Upgrade 8800GT SLI What should I do?
I am looking to upgrade my power supply and my video cards since it looks like the new drivers (185 series) will not be supporting 8 series cards anymore.

Should I upgrade to the GTX 285's in SLI or is that overkill?


Dell XPS 630i Q6600 CPU
Vista x64
Corsair - 8gb RAM
1TB RAID
2x 8800GT SLI

I would like to upgrade to 2x GTX 295, but that would be quad SLI which is not supported by 3D vision...any idea when this will be supported and should I just wait before doing anything and let the price drop on these?

Just the fact that the new BETA drivers (185.xx) do not list the 8 series as a supported product.

185.68 says, "This driver supports GeForce 9-series, 100-series, and 200-series desktop GPUs."

thanks,
but i think it should in the non-beta version, since the 3D Vision package already states that 8800gt card is supported, so shouldn't worry too much~
