[cuti7399]

Hello everyone,
I have this question: What does 2x7800gt sli equipvalent to? I'm debating whether to buy a 8800gts for about $300 or buy another 7800gt and run sli with the one i already have. Thanks for all the help in advance

It's about the speed of a single 7900 GTX. Don't waste your time buying a second card, buy a faster single card.

I switched from two 7800GTs@550/1300 to a single X1900XT and it was pretty close performance wise. Do like BFG suggests and just get a single high-end card.

Probably not the smartest thing to go for an ATI card right now.

actually if you look at latest benchmark with updated drivers... 2900XT starts to show its strength.

where are these new benchmarks ? I haven't really looked to hard for them, but I've been curious since the second I saw the new catalyst drivers come out.

I'm leaning toward 8800gts 640mb, ati driver is kind of buggy

Sounds like a plan.

Yeah SLI doesn't make any sense if you can acquire greater or equal performance on a single graphic card.

IF you can dump 2 7800GTs for about $90 or so thats' $180. For $140 extra you can get 8800GTS 640. That's what I would do. HD2900XT doesnt seem like a good value when it costs $100 extra and sometimes doesn't even outperform the 8800GTS card.

I just got a 8800gts 640meg eVGA and I love it!! Great performance but i have not tried it with vista however. It kickes my old x850xt's butt.
