1xBFG 6800u 512MB vs. 2x eVGA 6800GT 256mb

[newParadigm]

Bascially, as both setups would cost aprox the same amount, whcih would be faster.

2x 256mb 6800GT's

OR

1x 512mb 6800u (is this the OC version from BFG?)

512mb 6800 ultra is the dumbest thing ever, no added performance, definatly not worth 1k. Buy a 7800gtx though, as you don't want to be spending that much on old hardware.

Agreed

A 512MB 6800 Ultra offers virtually NO performance gain over a single Ultra. SLI'ed 6800GT's is of course better.

But like Cheese said why not get a 7800GTX which will be cheaper and faster?

 

[newParadigm]

will 7800GTX give more performance than SLI'd 6800GT's?

My 7800GTX vs 7800GTXSSLI vs 6800GT vs 6800GTSLI benches

Depends on the game and setting. They're pretty comparable, but check out Doom 3. 7800GTX is probably the pick here though, transparency AA, lower power requirements, option to upgrade to Uber 7800 SLI rig.

Ok. I see that the conclusion is to buy a 7800GTX, and add one later to get 7800 SLI 🙂

Nope.

Get a 7800GTX now, upgrade to the current high gen card when it gets old.
