2x 6800GS in SLi or 1x 7800GT

[fafnir]

Hi there,

I am looking at building a computer, and my main sticking point has been this question:

Should I get 2 6800GS cards to use in SLi or one 7800GT card?

one 7800GT is cheaper

they are roughly the same but the 7800GT is cheaper by about 80bucks...and on top of that if you get a single car eyou dont need an SLI board so that saved you anohter 30-100 bucks.

so it is much cheaper for he same perforamace to get 7800GT

I would get the 7800GT. That way if you want to go SLi in the future, you'll have a better setup. GT card prices will crash very soon.

Also, check out eBay for video cards. I bought 2 XFX 7800GTX overclocked cards for $450 a piece. They sell on newegg and everywhere else for about $520+
