1 or 2 7900gt?

[raynich]

I have recently ordered basically all new guts for my system.
One of these new guts is a 7900gt, I was planning on ordering two, but forgot to update the amount. I've been thinking since I ordered, maybe I don't need two. Will one hold me over?
Specs:
eVGA 123-K8-NF47-AX Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16 ATX
eVGA 256-P2-N584-AR Geforce 7900GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16
AMD 4600+
ENERMAX Liberty ELT500AWT ATX12V 500W
2 Gig Corsair

What do you guys think?

Am I going to be able to play Oblivion on full settings?

If you want beautiful oblivion play, get two. You will thank me when you see how nice it runs it opposed to one.

I think instead of buying another 7900gt, you should save that money, send your other 7900gt back, and then buy an 8800gts.

Or, since it's EVGA, use the money you were going to spend on another 7900gt and put it towards the difference of an 8800gts step-up.

LOL, after reading the review of the 8800gts, I was planning on doing this exact thing. I just ordered the 8800gts and am going to RMA my 7900 as soon as I get it. Thanks!
