Looking for a graphics solution

[Bremen]

I looked around a little bit to see how budget cards perform in sli but there really aren't any reviews that I saw. More importantly the vast majority of benchmarks compare cards in a similar category. What I was wondering was whether I'd get better performance from two low end sli cards, or spending twice the ammount on a single card???

When given that choice, ALWAYS go for the single card.

Less heat generated and less power consumed.

If you want to play newer games later this year/next year, you can always add a second card for SLI.

Buying two cheaper cards right now locks you into that performance level until you replace both.

No doubt. Here's the SLI and CF benchmarks you were looking for: link.
