7300GT is maybe one step above integrated video. You're better off with an X1950Pro or 8600GT.

You gotta be kidding me.

I really doubt two 7300GTs in SLI will beat a single 7600GT. It will also cost more than a single 7600GT.

SLI and XFire is not for low end cards, they are really for high end cards that where the only way to get more performance is by adding another card.

Save up some money and wait for some benchmarks to come out.

If you are thinking about spending $233 for two 7300GT, then consider spending $250 (after a $30 rebate) for a GeForce 8800GTS 320MB. Of course your power supply needs to be able to support such a powerful card.

The 8800GTS 320MB is probably over 10x more powerful than a puny 7300GT.

For the money, better off with a X1950Pro or a 7600GT. The 7300GT is really a non-gamer's card.

holy crap i almost died with shock reading that.. PLEASE do not spend money on a 7300.. escpecially 2 !! ahh lol

Like jaguarskx said earlier it would be better to go with a 8800gts and spend about $250 rather than $230 or so for the sli 7300 cards.. The 8800gts is like again was said before, at least 10x as powerful.. the 7300 cards in sli would barely be able to run crysis at the lowest settings, if at all actually. If however you go with a 8800 gts you will be able to play Crysis (not Crisis) at medium-high settings.

of course you need a good 500watt power supply unit to run this card, so if you dont have one you will need to upgrade. They are about $80 for a OCZ or Corsair brand.

I linked to the american version of ncix because the Canadian version has everything listed for a huge amount more.. even though the Canadian dollar is worth more than the american dollar.. (fubar imo)

$268 for 8800gts- http://www.ncixus.com/products/22631/PVT80GGHF4/XFX/

116 dollars each? ..im not sure how much a 1950xt cost's in dollars but surely less than $232 .if u have the money get a 1950xt aslong as your psu can handle it.and will easily double,treble the speed of 2x 7300 gt's. or as someone else suggested a 8800gts
