Hi all.
I recently upgraded to a 7900GT on a nice DFI Lanparty board with my AMD X2 3800+ which runs nicely OC'ed at 2400Mhz. I play mostly older games and Everquest. My question which I am totally lost in is that would getting a second card (another 7900GT in SLI) help AT ALL with games that might be older or, to the best of my knowledge, not have a specific SLI profile written for it?
My system runs games like EQ really well, don't get me wrong.. especially now with 2 GIGs of RAM. However when I run 3 accounts or there are like 60-70 folks in raids and I turn on all the goodies, spell effects etc.. I do notice some slow down. I spoke to a friend recently that upgraded to a new 7950 card with the 1GIG of ram that is essentially an SLI card in a one slot solution. His reasoning was that since he was starting from scratch it was going to be faster and cheaper than getting a 2 7900GT. He swears his EQ and EQ2 and WOW has never been faster... again is it because the card is faster or are these games taking advantage of SLI?
thanks! Bob
