How much performance increase will I see...

[TheRyuu]

I just have to ask. How much performance will I see going from a 9800XT (flashed from pro) to dual 7800GT's in SLI (as in Opty rig in sig)

(i'm guessing it's a lot)

I'm pretty sure the 9800XT is faster

Not had experiance with the 7800 SLI.

But.. I'm guessing.. It'd be like going from a socket seven 450 to a socket 939 X2 4800+

Just a guess, though. Best way to find out is get some 3dMark 7800 SLI scores and a 3D mark score with yours, might give a round about demonstration.

Well, 3dmark05 goes from about ~4500 (9800), to ~12000-14000 (SLIed GT's). I'm guessing more realistic #'s would be 12000 for GT's SLIed.

You would see an enormous performance increase. Playing games on max or close to max settings with it being silky smooth...can't beat that.

I'm guessing every game on max+AA+AF (SS on Half-Life 2), except for proabably FEAR.

EDIT: Dam UPS, taking forever. Ordred from TX, got 3 day select, tomorrow is day 7 and is schedualed dilevery date. My Mobo better come!!!!

is that a real question?

<12k likely in 05'

I barely got over 14k with a pair of GTX 512's @ 600/1800

1 512 was good for 10.9k though

I don't think you'll regret that big of a jump in performance. GL

 

[VIAN]

4x the performance.

 

[Polish3d]

Wait for the R580/G71 gen

I think 3dmark05 just becomes CPU limited at some point, like all the older versions did. I get 134xx (can't remember the last two) with my GTs at 530/1200, although I run them a little lower for daily use.

i bet you wouldn't see much performance increase!!! =)

if you game at 800 x 600 resolution that is!

Show me a 9800XT that will pull down 4500 3DMarks in 05 and I'll show you Jesus's video card.

QFT, 9800 level cards oced or not score under 2800 in 05 99% of the time.

thats a high score for a 9800xt!

I'd be suprised if you can find a game that can't be maxed out! If i max out FEAR settings on my 6600gt (stock 500/900 agp) even it gets a 18fps average in the test. That combo is 3-4 times more powerful so it should get 50fps or more with ease. They get ~100fps at high settings. Link

I'm sorry, I must have been :beer:ing when I wrote this. I meant 3500 (just looked it up), sorry...
