Okay so, I'm on the verge of putting together a new system and a question has arisen in my mind. Would dual 8800gts's (the 320mb flavor) in SLI overpower a 8800gtx? Right now the dual 8800's would be more expensive I realize but the question remains. If yo u were able to overclock each gts wouldn't they beat the gtx?

Dosent matter how many 320's u buy, they will always have 320MB together, so if u go above 1280x1024, they will be bottlenecked as hell and perform worse than the 8800 GTX. Its only another 30$ for the 640MB version.. u can spend 600$ on something but not 660$?

Huh? Where can you get a 640mb gts for 330? Newegg shows 300 for the 320mb and 380 minimum for the 640?

???

8800gtx is gonna be better, SLI IS NOT THE WAY TO GO at this point

That's not my point. I asked where he found a 8800gts 640mb for 330.
