Hi all,
My first post here.
I'm looking to build an upgraded gaming system, FEAR is bogging down my current system.
I'm considering the Asus A8N32-SLI board with the Athlon64 4000+ and 2GB RAM. I could get one GTX card for about $470, or 2 GT cards for about $700. Maximum PC's November issue compared benchmarks of both configurations, and it looked as though 2 GTs can really kick one GTX's bootie.. 2 - BFG 7800 GTs in SLI hit 11,047 3Dmark05, where one PNY 7800 GTX hit only 7648 3Dmark05.
The Asus Extreme N7800 GTX hit 8560 3Dmark05, but it was really expensive.
$650 is really pushing my budget for video cards, but I have a theory, based on Max PC, that 2 - GTs will give more bang for buck thatn one GTX.
Any other opinions?
thanks!
Veech
