Re: Graphics Card????

Look at my sig, ,my board is posted. Its SLi ready.

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.

Here is some good stuff

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

http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/12/...ii/page21.html

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.

Re: Graphics Card????
