Two 7600GT vs one 8600GT

If DX10 is not an issue , in most DX9 games that isn't shader extinsive one 7600 GT already outperforms one 8600GT.

and if you can affort 2 7600 GT'S then for crying out loud gat a 8800GTS 320 .

it can out perform 2 8600GTS 's easliy.
 
Two 7600GT's would be much stronger than a single 8600GT. (As it is 8600GTs are barely faster than a 7600GT)
 
Of course, if the OP's situation is that he has a 7600GT and wonders if picking up a second one is better than "upgrading" to an 8600, I would answer yes.
 
Yes it would. I ran that setup for a bit. It destroyed 7900gt's. I'm sure it wouldn't have any issues besting an 8600gts.
 
can i just stick the other 7600GT card in an sli mob or i'll have to somehow connect the two graphic cards?

My friend's got his 2 7600GT's on hacked SLI with his MSi 975X motherboard. Without the SLI bridge, he gets around 14000 on 3dmark05. with the bridge, he gets around 14500 on 3dmark05. Crazy numbers... puts down my 10500 on 3dmark05 with my 6800GS's.

If you have the SLI mobo, it should have come with the bridge connector.

Yeah, it seems that bridgeless SLI works pretty well on the mid-range cards, which is a nice bonus for the budget gamer.
