SLI Upgrade or a waste on money? Please Help!

[booth_matthew]

Yeah! I did pay £290 from overclockers, it maybe was more than a year ago now. It was when they first came out! Lesson learnt or what!

Would the single 512mb GTS card be a better than 2x8800gts 320mb/640mb cards sli'd then even at a higher resolutions?

how many post do i need for free delivery from Scan then guys? how does that one work.

As said above, it really depends on the game but from the reviews I've seen, to really justify SLi you're looking at 1920x1200 and upwards. My GPU is only a 8800GT and it copes pretty well at 1680x1050 (using Vista 64-bit) across the games I play.

Personally, if I were in the OP's shoes, I'd opt for a better/newer single card solution.

Nice tip mate, what cpu do you have?

Nice tip mate, what cpu do you have?

I've got the E6700 2.6GHz clocked to 3.0GHz (I should clock it more since it watercooled but haven't really needed to). If the Q6600 had been around at the time I built my system I'd have gone for that.

PS Congrats on the baby! Make the most of the gaming time now as you'll soon lose a good portion of it

Overclockers? *Pukes*

Just order from Scan... right from where you're sitting

You had issues with overclockers too? I've seen them argue with a young child over returning a item before. Your right, there only intrested in taking your money. If anything goes wrong you have to battle with them to get a refund!
