7950GT or SLI 7800GT's?

[AliasX]

The title says it all. I currently have one 7800GT in my computer. I still get some lag and flickering while running BF2, etc. I am looking to upgrade to either SLI 7800GT's, or a 7950GT.
Which is better?

eVGA 7950GT and sell on that 7800GT.

two 7800gt's in sli will outperform a single 7950gt

Why not the 7900GTO?

What's your overall budget for this, what does the rest of your rig look like? NVIDIA is supposed to be releasing the new 8800 series cards in mid-Nov, so it might make sense to wait on those depending on your situation.

To answer your question though, dual 7800GT's will out perform the the 7950GT in almost every situation.

Well, it depends. If you're playing games, SLi is good sometimes, but it depends on how well optimized the game is for it. There are some games where SLi/Crossfire solutions run worse than a single card. But if you do want pure speed, go with the SLi 7800s. That probably is the better choice anyways.
