dual-GPU bang for buck?

[kallenin]

Hey all,

Anyone know which dual-GPU setup has the best bang for buck? I do mean the actual cards and not just "ATI" or "nVIDIA". I expect I'll be using either an Asus P5N32-SLI or an Intel 975XBX, and some mid-range Core Duo 2 CPU.

Two X1900XTs or two 7950GX2s are best.

Never get two mid-range cards for SLI/CF, it SUCKS. Get the best single card you can afford. That's best bang for buck.

7800GTs and 7900GTs were great for SLI, but now that the 7950GX2 is out, it's a better solution.

Very true; if he's playing at 1024x768 he won't see any need for a 7950GX2 or X1900XTX.
