Do I Buy 1 7900gtx 512 Or SLI 2 7900gt 256?

I Cant Find Any Data On 7900gtx 512 v's 2 SLI 7900gt 256 ... Any Suggestions And Why?

There's 7900GTX 512Mb and 7900GT 256Mb. I don't think there's a 7900GTX 256 bro.

As for the question, I would pick two 7900GT 256Mb for SLI. It's around $320 bucks a piece, just a little more of that of the 7900GTX 512. Basically you're getting more than a 7800GTX 256 SLI without the huge price. So the 7900GT is a pretty good value when it comes to price and performance.

At least for now, a pair of 7900 GT cards in SLI defeats/outframes a single 7900TX by about 20% in a huge variety of current games...

An SLI rig around a pair of 7900GT cards also occasionally defeats even a 1900XT Crossfire rig, so it's a pretty stout solution for it's $598 cost of two cards
