Question

Would it be better to get 2 8800gt 640s or 1 880gtx

 

[T-nm]

None, just 1 gts.
PS: 1 gtx is better.

wait for g98

 

[menace2society]

G98 is only vaporware. Would like up grade now before my 7950gx2 becomes worthless

in most cases the former.


I'd personally wait it out until november the 7th though. heck sell your 7950 now if you want, buy a cheap card to get you by and then buy nVidia's next gen card. I have info from a NDA-ed guy on XS that it's around 40-70% faster than G80 but runs notably cooler and quieter. no idea how well it OCs though

 

[BTK17]

dude if you got a 7950gx2 dont upgrade

a 7900gs is good enough to hold out till g98

and oc'd 7900gs>7900gt

if you got 7950gx2 wait

If I buy now from EVGA I can use the step up program in november plus sell my card on Ebay for around $300 to help supplement my purches now, or is the step up just a misstep. Does it work like its advertised? I have the BenQ FP241W and the 7950 gx2 has a hard time at 1900x1200, worred about the new games coming out like Cyrsis, Enemy territory Quake Wars etc etc.

then just get a single 8800GTS for the time being.
