A friend of mine just scrapped a huge gaming build he had planned on, and decided to sell all of his components, which included two of these - [LINK]
They're sold out or discontinued on Newegg or something, because you can't Newegg search for that link, I actually had to google it. He sold me both for $175.00 each. I basically got one for free, if you look at it from a market price standpoint.
The question I'm looking to ask is....what sort of real world benchmarks and performance will I be looking at with both of these in an SLI setup? I've never personally owned any top-of-the-line GPU's, and certainly not an SLI setup but have been around gaming rigs for quite some time and know their capabilities. Will this stand up to, and/or outperform the premiere top of the line cards nowadays? (I plan on OC'ing the entire system, look farther down for some general specs).
Just looking for an explanation of what sort of power I'm really gunna be putting into my new rig. He assured me they're pretty high up there in the market, and that two of them would be very formidable.
It'll be running with a Q6600, Liquid Cooling System, 8 GB's of RAM, 10k Raptor Drives in raid array, all that junk. I guess my only real question is it's comparison against a single "Top of the Line" card.
Thanks to any and all help in advance.
