Should I SLI???

[pentiumobile]

I love BF2.

Currently have a 7800GT and I was planning on buying a second one for SLI.

But I read that the X1950 XT is a good bangbucker...

What do you think guys???

I have a card on the same level (X1800), and it's just fine for BF2. I don't see the point in a new card unless you're running at ultrahigh res.

Yeah, you already have a high-end *enough* card. So...I'd just wait.

One option is to sell your 7800GT and buy the X1950XT. :thumbsup: However as OSX pointed out you may not need an upgrade if you have a small monitor and run at low resolutions.

A bold statement...Touche!

I have a Dell 24" LCD 1900x1200

The thing is that I can play everything maxed out @ 1600X1200
2XQ AA...4XAF..."performance" settings

It plays OK but there are visible "jaggies" and when you have smoke or dust FPS drops considerably.

I havent tested it at native resolution (1900x1200) because you have to edit the video.con file so support that resolution.

I already tested It SLI and @ 1600x1200 8XAA 16XAF "High Quality" Settings it "lagged"
a little bit.

MY question is....is the ATI stronger than the SLI 7800???

I have a Opty 165, 2GB RAM, Epox 9npa sli

Bottlenecks???

@ that resolution and the games that u play now (assumed since your 7800gt plays mostly fine with them) the x1950xt would be good...

I looked for benches to compare but havent found one for that specific card...

Any suggestions???

The 1950xt isn't listed, but 1950 Pro is.
No BF2 benches, but plenty of others for reference.
