Video card upgrade choices.....

[Trillock]

Currently I have a BFG GF7800GTX on the Fatal1ty AN8 Ultra.
I fancy a bit of a graphics boost, but for now it is cheaper to stay skt939 rather than go AM2 with new cpu, memory, motherboard.
Would getting a GF7950 G2 show an improvement ? (try and sell the 7800GTX to recoup some money.........they don't seem very popular these days..)
Or, get an SLI board and get another GF7800GTX.............although a match of another BFG card seems hard to find in the UK. Would any 256MB GF7800GTX do as a second card ?
This is a bit more expensive than getting the GF7950 G2 card.
I am dithering, so any comments would be very welcome to this ageing gamer.....

The 7800GTX is nearly top of the line... Upgrading now would be futile and frankly most likely frivolous and wasteful.

Your best upgrade choice? Wait and buy a DX10 card, anything else is basically wasting your money right now.....I have been there, done that, and it was not worth it. I had a 7800GTX, sold it and bought a 7900GT....I should have waited.....the 7900GT was little to barely any more speed difference at the settings I played at, 1680x1050 with lots of IQ on.

Anyways, yeah just wait man.

Nah, no volt mods. It ran 535/1600 from the first day I got it....and is running 550/1600 right now with the guy I sold it to.

Sometimes we do silly things, now I know. Heh.

I am buying the full on G80 GTX when it hits, no skimping here this time.
