8800 gts 320's SLI, Time to Upgrade?

Big Red, check Craigs List in your area. You may be able to dump them there. EVGA is selling Bstock (used) 8800 GTS 320s for $149.00, I would market them as "Cooler Upgraded" 8800 GTS 320s and price them at $135.00 or as you see fit.

I don't think a single 8800 GTS 512 would bottleneck your cpu at all.

And to answer your question, I think the low vram in your 320 cards could be a reason to go for a GTS 512. But, I have two 640s and am holding out for the next Nvidia product line. I should have asked this at the beginning, but what is your reason for upgrading? Need to have newer and better tech or framerates? Never had a 320 or two, but I would imagine the vram holds you back a little bit at your resolution.

That's one thing I wish newegg would do is update their descriptions:

"What would you like to know? EVGA's entry is fast, featuring a PCI Express x16 interface, 320 MB of RAM with a 320 bit interface, it features dual RAMDACs running at 400 MHz for faster refresh rates even at high resolution, supports HDTV, Direct X 10, OpenGL 2.0, the processing is massively multi-threaded so it can support thousands of independent processing threads, supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) so you can play HD DVD or Blu-Ray on your compatible DVD drive at full resolution.

Featuring Nvidia technology at the bleeding edge, this is a high performance video card that is up to almost anything you put it to. Need a max resolution of 2560 x 1600? Then maybe this is the graphics card for you!"

It should say: "Do you want to bleed from your wrists when cutting them with a razor blade while waiting for the next frame of Crysis to appear? Then maybe this is the graphics card for you!"

true.

I'm sure many cards beat it handily, but my 320 ran the Crysis demo very well at 1680x1050.
Most people who abuse the 320 never owned one.

I just ordered one of them from newegg, the MSI one though for $5 more.

I was going to upgrade a while ago, but my 7600GT died that week, so I got a new replacement 7600GT and it still works ok, so I postponed it.

stick with them for now ,with Q6600 oced @3.0Ghz they should give you a good performance boost , wait for the 9900gtx or gt (gt200- new arhitecture) in jun or july this year. the cpu is slowing down your sli,consider upgrade to Q6600 this is relatively cheep upgrade and save money for 9900gt or gtx
it is a beter option because 9900's are going to be very cpu hungry nothing less then Quadcore is suicide with new 9900's(gt200 release in jun or july is confirmed and finaly the true next gen architecture from nvidia is coming out) folow this advice and you will not regret.

No.
