As the title says, shall I go with my original plan of SLi 9600GT, or sell my current graphics card and scrap the idea of buying another?

Help me decide. I think selling and going for a single slot solution would be not only better on power consumption but performance wise.

Something which plays source games at a decent framerate, rainbow six vegas 2, and cod4.

INFO;

My native gaming resolution is 1024x768, but I don't really care. The higher the better, but nothing lower than 1024x768.

nVidia preferably, never really got into ATI. No fanboyism comments please.

PRICE;

Well assuming i get at least £50 for this card, anything up to £120?
50 GBP = 72 USD
120 GBP = 173 USD (xe.com ftw)

UK sites preferred if you want to show me a good deal.


Seems in the US you get much better deals.

I say sell it and buy a 4870 1gb off a member here, it preforms better then 9600gt SLI.
I am sure a 512mb will work better then 9600GT sli too. Even more so since you're playing at a lower resolution.

sell it... no doubt... look at the new gts 250's you can get the 1GB SC version from EVGA for like $170(USD) on Newegg.com... so i would sell and get a gts 250...

Would rather not have an ati card, as i said in the thread. Also, I'd prefer an unused card. If I buy used I can't get my money back.

Scrap the whole idea and get either a GTX260/216 superclocked (there is a special over here in the US on these this weekend) or a 1 GB 4870.

Either of those cards will dramatically improve your performance.

so... you game at 1024x768? or you game at higher res's? cos @ 1024x768, something ridiculously cheap like a 9400GT or 9500GT would do..

I already have a 9600GT. So I though upgrading to SLi wouldn't be the worst idea in the world. See below

I was simply stating that there is. Im sure there are some retailers over there that are also having deals on these cards.

Your CPU and RAM is bottlenecking your graphics card. I don't think you'll see much of a performance increase by upgrading to a more powerful graphics card since the Pentium D is already bottlenecking the 9600 GT. You should use that money to upgrade the CPU to a C2D and upgrade to 4 GBs of RAM.
