I am looking to upgrade my single 7800GT, I was wonding which to go with 2 7600GTs in SLI or 1 7900GT. I can only support 1280x800 because that is the limit of my 17 inch wide LCD. I want as much eyecandy as possible. I like the idea of the 7600 not needing extra power. I await your opinions.

I would say get a 7900 GT as it would outperform the two 7600GT's in sli and you wouldn't have to worry about any problems that might arise from SLI (not saying that it is riddled with problems). AT any rate though if you have a 7800 GT I'd say an upgrade would be pretty freaking pointless, especially if you're at that low resolution all the time. You wouldn't see tha tmuch of a performance gain.

A single 7900GT does NOT beat out sli'ed 7600gt's.

Do your research buddy ;)
 
wow, I was set on the 7900gt. But, should I go sli 7600gt?

edit: screw it, ill just get the one 7900gt
 
yea, I'd go with 1 7900. Then, if you run across some random amount of money, you can go dualies. And not have to resell anything.

thats exactly what I was thinking. Or what literally went through my mind was "i wont have to sell 2 cards when dx10 comes out"
 
If you already have a 7800GT, just get another one for SLI, rather than getting two 7600GTs in SLI. Though at that resolution, it probably wouldnt make much of a difference.
 
1 7900Gt. It's always slightly wiser to buy 1 more expensive than 2 smaller, as it lets you upgrade to dual later.
