Trying to help a friend!

[MrFire8808]

My friend is building himself a PC

Im curious.. Which of the two video card options would you recommend

Two of theese running in SLI


or this by itself.

The single 7900GT.

Buying two low end cards like the 6800s simply defeats the purpose of SLI, as you then have no upgrade path.

The 7900GT will be eventually discontinued too, but it's a tad more sensible to SLI a couple higher end cards like that later if needed.
