Hi There,
I'm looking at buying a new system and currently deciding between the ATi x1950 pro and the nVidia 1950GT.
I know both are fairly mid range cards, but I was planning to utilise either crossfire or SLi to hook up a pair of these cards rather than plumping for a DX10 card right now, since the software doesn't really seem to have quite caught up right now.
Firstly, I would like anyones opinion on SLi vs Crossfire in general, and then, SLi/Crossfire with two mid end cards, compared to a single higher end card.
I'm looking to spend £200-250 on the GFX and can find the two ATi's for about £200-210 and the nVidia's for about £230-240. I could maybe got for something like the 8800 but i would only be able to afford one of them.
Anyone got any experience with either of these three options? any general opinions on the benefits of dual cards vs one higher spec card?
It should be noted, that whilst I would currently get two mid end cards, when the DX10 stuff becomes the norm, I would look at upgrading the pair to a pair of something newer in a year or two.
Any info appreciated,
Cheers,
Doug
