Right now I can afford to either buy another 7600GT to run in SLI or another 1 gig ballistix, which would you say would be my best choice to get higher FPS?
 
sell the 7600 gt you have now, and buy a 7900 gt.
theres a pretty significant increase in FPS by doing that.

Lets see, another gig of ballistix would set you back 130, same with a GT... sell your card, get 100 for it... and then buy a x1950PRO or a 7900GTO, better than a 7600gt in SLI.
 
7900gto ftw over the 7900gt or 1950pro

better cooler, faster, and step up program

True, but getting hard to find. You may want to wait for the dx10 cards.
 
lol I wasn't talking about upgrading, selling, or anything of that sort, I only have two choices, ram or SLI :rolleyes:
 
ram. you'll want to upgrade to a DX10 card sometime in the future, so going SLI would suck when you're replacing 2 cards with 1. Might as well have the 2 gigs to have fun with anyways.
 
please take note that the OP also has regular ol' DDR ram, not DDR2.

that said, I'd go with SLI with another 7600GT.

You're going to have to replace memory and video cards when you do decide to do a system overhaul, just like me. :(
 
I daresay that he's happy with his LanParty UT Ultra-D tho, so he prolly wont want todo a full overall for quite a while.
 
A second card will increase your FPS more than another GB of RAM. Whether it is the right choice or not is debatable but stricty from a FPS increase perspective the 2nd card wins.

I take it you've modded your ultra-d already?

either way, to get better fps, you'd need to increase your video power (sli or new vidcard). the ram upgrade will help overall system performance for memory intensive programs (some games, not all).

Not yet, wanted to see if SLI would be a better choice first. It's easy anyway, just draw a line with a pencil :) Thanks for the opinions
