Hi all,
I've currently got an X800PE (AGP) and I'm doing a MAJOR upgrade in the near future, my mate has just bought a 7800GTX, but I want SLI :-) , so I'm considering the above options, any views ?
7900GTX not an option, OR 7800GTX (x2) unfortunately :-(
I'm assuming money doesn't matter here, but you'll need one hell of a display to benefit.
Err... I think money does matter, if 7900GTX and 7800GTX-SLI are both not options :p
I would wait and see how the 7900GT performs and/or is priced. But that card would probably be the best bet...

Yeah, unfort money DOES matter, I want 2 be able to play the latest games at 1280 with full AS and AA and stay above 60fps, but realistically I have a £400 ceiling, thats y x2 7800GT's look so tempting (£199 inc vat atm) !
Thanks for your input tho guys, anyone know when the 7900's are due out ?
rumour has it they will be announced at cebit, beginning of March.

Thanks Nox, I'll keep my eyes out :-)
I heard that it will be out late March,early April
ATi cards handle AA/AF much better than Nvidia. The X1900XTX would be better IMO.
Not a fan of dual GPU's, though SLI 7800GT's, is probly the best bet, though it looses to a XTX a lot of the time.
I think you would be better off with one card, perhaps an x1900xt, and put it up to xtx speed. I think sli is only worth it when you can afford 2x the best card available.
some games are actually slower when running in sli... everquest 2 springs to mind
so i would say get a single card

x1900xt >all at the moment
Yep x1900xt would be an awesome choice right now :)
The 1900xtx is a great card
a pair of 6800gt is more than enough
Huh, where did that come from?Quote:

If you're running in 1280, buy a single 7800GTX and you're fine
To be perfectly honest I don't think SLI is necessary, a single high end card will provide you all the eye candy you can handle :)
