Title says it all, How much of a performance increase would going with a 285 instead of a 275 chip video card.

    Being someone who was just in the same situation, it's about 10% for $100-150 extra dollars. Not worth it to me. I bought the 275.

    I found out my studdering in WOW was caused by my ATI card, alot of posts over the net are stating ATI cards(for some reasion:mad:) causes studdering problems when paning around in game.

    Going to swap that out before i change the motherboard/CPU/RAM

    EVGA 275, IMO, but if the $100 extra is worth 10% for you (which won't show in WoW, because it runs identically on an 8800GTS, 4870, 4890, 4870 X2, 275, etc), then by all means get the 285.

    just looking for it to last for 2-3 years, I try not to upgrade unless A) it Broke or B) it's 2-21/2 years old.

    I run WOW at 1950X1600 with all setting maxed so there are a few cards that can't run it at those settings

    That's about my upgrade cycle as well.

    GeForce 3 Ti500 > Radeon 9800 Pro > GeForce 7950GX2 > GeForce 8800GTS (g80) > GeForce GTX 275. About 1.5-2.5 years between cards.

    Funny thing, in my case I went with the 285 because I got a baseline GTX 285 for only about $40 more than a GTX 275. Guess it depends where you buy it, or maybe the pricing in Canada is just odd.
