Hi people,
I want to up grade my current gpu to the new DX11 cards, but am on a tight budget. I want to get a gtx 560 ti and was wondering how it would compare to my current gtx 295 in terms of performance in octane....Should i stick with my current setup and wait till i can get a second gtx 560 to use the DX11 cards or can the two(560 and 295) be paired? Am about to buy octane render, but I can't untill am done setting up my rig.

You could probably mix different GPUs now (after octane 2.47).

For a comparsion of actual cards see:

I have no experience with the 295.

So you have two slots for GPUs?
I would think about a 460 2GB instead of the 560 ti.

An investment in an Octane license is worth it.
You won't regret.
