      You're right...my apologies... I usually ignore people's sigs when they include pc stats. I'd go ahead with an upgrade to a 7800 GT. That way, you can buy a second one and SLi THAT one later.:)

        This will give you performance increase stats going from one card to another

        Tom's Hardware helps you buy the best hardware and build the best PC to play, create and work..


        So if you went with 2 6800gt is SLI you would get a 39% increase overall. A single 7800gt would give you a 42% increase, and a single 7800gtx would give you a 55% increase.
        Thanks,
        From what I got from that chart If I upgrade to that Geforce 7800GTX 256MB PCIe I will get a 55% performance increase. Or if I go SLi, I will only get a 44% performance increase. Hmmm decisions, decisions. Wonder if I will actually SEE the difference of 11% The price difference from the 2 cards is about $300.00. $200.00 for the 6800GT $500.00 for the 7800GTX

          Yea I thought that too. $300.00 price defferance is making me think twice.

            Yea, just found one.Looking at this one
            Its just $150.00 more than another 6800GT. This card will last awhile, then some other fancy card will come out, and the price will hopefully drop then get another one.
