Is it worth it?

[menace2society]

I'm thinking about buying the 4870 x2. Wondering if it is worth it going from the 8800 gtx in sli. I try to game at 1900x 1200 with AA turned up as high as possible My system is in my sig with a few changes, but nun that make any performance differences

TIA

Any place close you can buy one locally with a return policy? That would allow you to purchase one and test to see if the gains are worth it.

If you can sell your old cards, it makes the choice easier.

Selling your 8800GTX's to make up the difference is definitely a good idea. However, you're just going to have to ask yourself if the ~$300 upgrade is worth it. The 4870X2 is definitely going to perform much better and give you many more AA options, but only you can decide if it's worth the cost.

The 8800 GTX in SLi should be able to run everything out there (minus Crysis) at those settings. So, if it was me I'd just wait for a price drop.
