I've wanted to go SLI on my setup but don't feel like shelling out a lot of cash for the new 8000 series just yet. But if I could find another 7800 gtx for relatively cheap, say under 100, would it be worth it in terms of performance? Or is it just a waste of money at this point?
 
7800GTX has had its day and todays gaming world.

I'd get rid of your current GTX and pickup a 8800GT down the track when there pricing is $250 and below. You'll notice a pretty big difference.
Besides, you'll save money on your powerbill.
 
Have to back V99, unless you can picking up another 7800GTX dirt cheap under $80 or something. Any more and you are wasting money that could go towards a 8800GT especially when adding the resale value of your current GTX.
 
no it's not worth it, and this is usually why SLI isn't really worth it in the first place unless you have enough money to go SLI with each new generation of card.. the gains just aren't worth the price and a single next generation card always blows the previous away in SLI, so you have no choice but to upgrade if you want the newest and fastest.
 
Thanks for the replys. If I do find one ridic cheap, i'll go for it just for fun, but i think the best bet is waiting a series or two after the 8800's.
 
Try to get one from that erecycler guy on ebay. They usually sell for under $50 and all you have to do is remove a mosfet to get it working. I got my 7800GTX SLI setup for $82 ;)
