So I went ahead and sold the GTS250 and bought GTX275... That lead to me buying a 850 Watt power supply that won't even fit in my case...lol. But it was worth it...Gears of War looks astonishing in 3D.

The lessson here is that if you want to do 3D today and do it right...you must spend lots of $$$.

You should have had the PSU to run 2x 6pin PCI-E if you had a reasonably specced 500W PSU. But im glad to see you got the card you needed in the first place.

PSU I had did not have enough amps on the +12 volt line. Wattage was fine but it needed something like 36 amps...

So I bought this PSU because if I want to go SLI, I should be covered.

All in all, I am happy that I got the thing going finally as it should be. Over the next 6 months I'll need a new case (to fit that gigantic power supply, a new SLI ready mobo, new CPU, and another GTX275.

Obsession has been born... :)
