1950XTX Crossfire vs. Single nVidia 8800GTX

Does anyone know how they would perform against one another, is it worth the updating of my system? I know I'd have to change the MB too.

1x X1950 Crossfire 512MB GDDR4
1x X1950XTX 512MB GDDR4

if u have 2x1950xtx , well in some games it beats 8800gtx , and in some games it loses to a 8800gtx, but i dont suggest going from 2x1950xtx to a 8800gtx, because the difference isnt worth it

The 8800GTX would beat two X1950XTXs in most modern titles, and would offer you Direct X10 support.

Sorry, what's you current config?

If thats the rig you have now and want to replace two X1950XTXs with a 8800GTX, then I dont think its worth it at all. Unless you absolutly must have DX10. Those cards should last untill the time when game developers completly drop DX9 support and DX11 is out.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

DX11 may be pushing it but if you have x1950xtx crossfire than definatly wait atleast until a complete revision comes out on both sides.

EDIT: The reason I asked what config you currently have is cause I was trying to figure out why you had to change your mobo.
