that power supply might be cutting it close. i had 2 9600gt's and in sli they benched like mad, but if the games you are playing dont take advantage of sli then you will net minimal performance. the gts 250's will net better benches but i would imagine not by any kind of rediculous margin.
What's 8800GTS G92 SLI Performance

ill have to admit im also intrested to know, i could invest in a cheap 8800 for the time being until i either wanna get xfire 5870, or sli gt300

Lastly, I used an online PSU calculator and it said that my 500W PSU is fine for running 8800GTS G92 SLI w/ X2 7750 at 3.2Ghz. |

I thought about that but I'm wondering if I ran at 1440 x 900 could I run games at a higher settings compared to a game that I could've ran at 1920 x XXX

Shockingly identical systems..

u telling me lolz, minus the mobo and monitor and psu,
the ram, cpu and gpu are virtualy identical (as long as u ignore the company name on the gpu) what ram u got there i got the 1066(overclocked 800)mhz hpc editions (cost more now then when i originaly bought them over 6 months ago)

Bought mine for $50 now they cost like $80. But they are 800Mhz. I overclocked the timings to 4-4-4-12 though. What settings do you play Crysis on?

So if I can get my CPU to 3.5Ghz possibly, then get a second 8800GTS 512MB I should be set until after next summer, right? (When I can start making summer mula

EDIT: If I get a second 8800GTS then I need to get a new motherboard. That would be $70 + However the price of the card (Most likely $75) and that means at least $140. For that price would a single 4870 be faster?

i dont play crysis, allthough i when i did i just maxed everything out and got like 12 min fps on a 1240x1024 res and max possibly 20-25 if that
i usualy just mix things up with medium to high with like 2xaa and 16xaf

check that out... i would say that in sli they do scale quite mad... im tempted to get another my psu should definetly handle it... if only i could find another 8800gts512 for under £50 >.<

I'm still stuck.. I want the most performance but the thing is, is it worth it? I mean I can run all the games I have except Crysis maxed out. But I don't want to waste money if I don't need it. But I want ePeen!!!

My gpu score was 10,904 in Vantage with an e6750 @ 3.0ghz on my sig rig, with 1 card I only scored around 6k so they do scale pretty nicely. My average FPS in Cod4 with the settings maxed in 1680x1050 was 120ish fps. I don't think you're cpu would give you much of a bottle neck, I only gained 1k in vantage when I swapped to the q9550. I just sold one of my cards to my dad so I can't run 3dmark 06 to get a comparison score.. It's only been 3 days but I'm already missing the speed

Edit, guess I should change my sig since I no longer have SLI LOL! I'm not sure If I want to hold on to my remaining 8800gts for PhysX or go ATI.

crysis just isnt worth the effort for gaming in my oppinion, its great for being a benchmark tool though, i would love to be the first person to say that i ran crysis at 50fps min but that aint gonna happen, i cant even imagine any gpu ever to achieve this, the game is just coded too badly, i say it isnt worth getting another 8800gts, since u can virtualy play any other game out there perfectly fine unless u want that extra aa and beauty from a game
for epeen ill say either get 5870 xfire, 5850 xfire, or even the 5770's in xfire or 3 xfire xD or the gt300 series in sli (thats if they even neeed to be sli'd)
best to save your money and invest in the future instead of now and outdated hardware, especialy if dx11 actualy does as good as dx9

if u ever go ati, i would say hold onto the 8800 for the physX (yes its possible

) i plan on going ati if i get the cash and just have xfire and my 8800 for physX assuming ill need it for games like batman etc

i think everyone wishes they never bought something from a year ago, cos of the tech that is of now and in the next 6 months, just dont wory about it, i wish i never botherd getting my 7750 when it was like £75 but thats life

i think im gonna sell my 8800 and go for a 5770 and eventualy xfire, looks like i can sell it and get a 5770 for less then £50 seems like a bargain to me
