I just recently started playing Age of Conan and would like to potentially upgrade my graphics card(s). I've had quite a bit of problems with my SLI setup and am actually running right now on a single eVGA 7800 GTX 256MB card, but have the other that I can easily put back in. My question is whether or not with the SLI setup, would a 8800 GT 512MB beat out this SLI setup?

Absolutely no doubt... the 8800 GT will win... and not by a slim margin.

8800GT, no contest. I would get this one if you can. It has the best stock cooler of the 8800GT's that I have seen.

As everyone said, definitely the 8800 GT. I even checked the GPU charts for comparisons, and this is how much better in terms of FPS the 8800 GT is than the 7800 GTX SLI setup.

BF2142 - 1920x1200: 45%
Oblivion - 1920x1200: 44%
Prey - 1600x1200: 35%
