Bad Idea?

[Justintoxicated]

With all the hot deals lately I jumped on the 8800GTS (G92). for $140 shipped after rebate and tax.

I already have an 8800GTS (BFG version though).

Was thinking to SLI them. But I didn't do my homework first. Will this still be faster than an 4850?

not sure a 8800GTS will be faster than a 4850 crosfire. you'll have to do some research on that

 

[Justintoxicated]

But it should be faster than a single 4850 right?

 

[Valset]

yes it will. in games that scale well. a single 4850 that is

thans hard to find reliable benchmarks for SLI GTS....vs any of the new cards.

SLI 8800 GTS 512MB is nearly equal, a little slower at times, compared with SLI 8800 GTX 768MB, assuming you're not running higher than 1920x1200. Then the 8800 GTS 512MBs start to choke in a big way due to memory bus width.

SLI 8800 GTS 512MB will almost certainly be faster than a single Radeon HS 4850, assuming the games in question scale with SLI at /all/. A few titles, like WoW, do not really benefit from SLI, so there you would be at a disadvantage.
