ok imma buy a 64 3800 am2 cpu and i wanted to do sli or crossfire, i was thinkin the 7800gt's they r only 160 for refurbs at newegg or maybe something in crossfire? my budget will top out at 450 for both cards together. but wat do the 7800gt sli match up to? and r should i just spend more money instead of getting a deal?
 
Just decide whether you want X-Fire or SLI, and go from there however I would strongly suggest getting one card whether it be ATI or Nvidia, becasue if you go with 2 card right off the bad your severely limiting yourself for upgrades in the future. In terns of what 2 7800gt's would be like, they would get close to the perf of a sgl 7900gtx or x1900xt.
 
With 2 7800GTs, you can buy a 7900GTO which will outperform it.

Dual card solutions on either NVIDIA or ATI are bad solutions: new gen cards will defeat 2 previosu gen ones, for the same price.

with 450$ he could get a 8800gts :eek:

and SLI is just a dirty, cheap way for nVidia and ATI to make some quick cha-ching
 
o ok, cool so i was thnkin maybe an x1950xt but i like nvidia drivers better, does an nvidia card a the same price match up to the x1950xt?
 
ooo u noe wat i totally forgot about the 8800gts being 450, imma get one of those if i get enough christmas money!! pray for me pls! lol thanks alot guys! and girls!
 
only way sli is worth it is if you can get either one or both cards dirt cheap... two 7800gt's for $80 a pop... great deal, probably the only way it'd be worth it.

Wanna back that up with benchies?

AFAIK a 7900GTO at stock is an underclocked 7900GTX, 2 x 7800GT's will cream a single 7900GTX, so I think your talking out of your ass.

OP, why not look at 2 x 256mb 7800GTX's? Can't be that much more than the GT's :confused:
 
Getting anything in the 7xxx series of cards, is fairly stupid now with the onset of DX10 and 8800 level of cards.

yeah, a single 7950GT card is a GOOD card, but why get 2 cheaper cards in SLI, when a single more powerful card can be had for only a few dollars more...

Plus, the 8800GTS is a HELL of a lot quieter than ANY set of previous nVidia cards in SLI.
