first , txs all 4 having me on your forum .
Question : running a Evga 7600gs 512mg card . should i SLI it ? can i really expect more performance etc ? will it then be 256 interface ?
Or , send the card back @ a 15% restock fee & get the 7950 /512 mg evga card ??? i'll have to wait months till i could SLI that baby . Yes my power supply has the guts and hook-ups to do it all right ???
running a 4800x2 on a gigabyte sli 4 mobo . 2 gigs of samsung 4300 .
txs 4 all and any answer's
didn't know the 7950 had driver problems , txs 4 input . i could go with 1
evga 8600gts but then a wait of many months to sli it ! hadn't thought of the 7900 . go idea maybe i was hoping that by using sli on 2 7600/512 cards it would double the core & memory speed to 1600 . guess it don't work that way .
#1 problem . staying in a tight budget guess that 1 ,8600gts would out do 2 7600gs 512's in sli . right ???

you are way better off with one, more powerful gfx card than two underpowered ones. also, dont get an 8600gts, or anything lower than an 8800gts in the 8 series. they are a HUGE downgrade from 8800 performance.
in your situation, i'd get the 7950gt, and blade, hes talking about the gt, not gx2. i have a 7950gt currently, and its a great card.
all in all, dont sli (unless you have two of the top series cards like 2x8800gtx), better off with one strong card than two weak cards
never sli or crossfire a medium/lower end card. its just not worth the money being spent on two cards. Your better off paying that little bit extra and getting a single higher performing card which will outperform your lower end sli any day. single cards are also easier to power + have less issues as compared with sli and crossfire.
edit: lol 3 replies by the time i pressed submit...sheesh. oh and i stand corrected about the 7950 GT
txs everyone 4 the straight up advice . forget the sli 4 sure on my budget .
sending back the 7600gs (sucker worked great compared to my very old ti4800se ,lol ) . ordered the evga 7950 ko 512 . best i can do right now . but i know i will not be wondering bout sli and what if's ??? thanks all . i'll have the clock & mem speed now i really wanted with what i have 2 spent.
