I can get 2 7600GT's and run them in SLI or get just one 7950GT to run by itself......which would be better???....and if I do go with SLI, will I have a driver issue in Vista?
 
the 7950GT would be way better than 2 7600GT's in SLI. sli is usually only good if you have a huge monitor and high resolution, the 1 better videocard is usually the better choice over 2 lower slied cards.
 
I plan on running on a 20" wide screen at 1680x1050 so I guess the 7950GT would be a better choice. Thanks
 
I'd recommend only getting SLI if you have a large monitor as mentioned before,

or you want to have the very best and money isn't an issue.
 
I'd only ever recommend getting SLI if you're already in the high-end. Meaning, that if you have a midrange card, there's no need to get SLI because selling it and getting a high-end card will be much better. In that sense, don't even consider SLI unless you have an 8800 GTS or better.

QFT, only reason I got sli is when I built my computer I could of eather got 1 7900GTX or 2 7900GTs, which 2 gts are 30-50% faster on average...

...Anyways now my cards are 11 months old, and a single 8800GTX beats them now.

Well, you should buy a 8800GTX then, and sell me a 7900GT for cheap, I could go for another one :p

Heh, even if I sold them each for 150$, I would still have to pay 250$ or so to upgrade, not worth it atm because I can play anything I want to at 1152x864 with enough eye candy to satisfy me, right now just putting money away for a new rig in 2008.
