*Quality PICS* 8800 ?

Hey guys, I believe it's been almost 2 years now since I've posted on any OC forums and I'm looking at doing few upgrades to my old, what used to be "Ultimate Setup".
Here's the PC(Asus-A8N Deluxe, [email protected], Raptors Raid-0, 7800gtx's, Corsair XMS 2-2-2-5)...

Here's my 256mb 7800gtx's...

And here's a few pics of the overall setup for you to check out...

The main question that I'm looking to have answered is about a video card upgrade. I'm thinking about selling my 256mb 7800gtx's that have been working out great for me running @ 495/1350 for 2 years now. I would like to upgrade to a 8800gtx, but the funds arnt all there.
How much of an upgrade will I see going from (2) 7800gtx's to a single 8800GTS, or will I need buy a 8800gtx to really see a difference.
I play bolt-rifles only in COD2 about 3-4 hours a day right now, but plan to play alot of crysis when it comes out.
Thanks for any input that you may have.

What about the 8800GTS, it looks to be about $150 less?

Slightly off topic, but is that a JL Audio 8W6 in that subwoofer enclosure? If so, I need to purchase that and am willing to make it worth your while

Yeah the 8800GTS 640MB would be faster as well.

Thanks for the helpfull info. Do you happen to have any bookmarked pages that display a benchmark comparison between 7800gtx's SLI vs 8800GTS/GTX? Everything Im finding only compares a single 7900gtx to the 8800 series.

LOL, it's all good. Nah its not a 8w6, it's a 10w3 in a 2 cuft t-line enclosure tuned to 28hz with 300rms on it. It's very effecient and gets loud and very very low with amazing sq. I love JL for there SQ. I can prob help you fins a 8w6. I've got over 1000 posts on caraudio.com and know a bunch of distributers that prob have stock of older JL stuff.
I'm a pretty big car bass audiophile...

My friend has a 7800GTX...it's about the same as a 7900GT. Another friend has a 7900GTX and it blows the 7900GT, 7950GT, and the 7800GTX out of the water...

I'd get the 320 and save up for the 9800's coming out this November
The extra memory will come into effect at extreme levels of AA, or very high resolution. I run 1680x1050 with 4xAA and don't run into any issues

Where will I see the extra memory of the 640 come into effect? Do you guys think I can get at least $130 for each dual slot 256mb 7800gtx, I haven't spent too much time on the classifieds yet? |
