LOOK if your upgrading your GPU or a new build, INFO & number crunchin

So I'm going to do a new build and i did a little number crunching, just thought Id share.
these numbers are all from anandtech at 1600x1200 resolution since I have a 22" monitor.
I simply added the FPS in all the multi GPU tests (7 games) to get the total.
The test they did was with all stock GPU's
Then I went to newegg to get a cheap price and divided it to see which GPU gave the best preformance per dollar.

8800GT
Total FPS - 311.6
Frames Per Dollar - 2.07

9800GTX
Total FPS - 365.3
Frames Per Dollar - 1.85

8800 SLI
Total FPS - 592
Frames Per Dollar - 1.97

9800Gx2
Total FPS - 606.8
Frames Per Dollar - 1.55

4850
Total FPS - 434.1
Frames Per Dollar - 2.63

4850 CF
Total FPS - 598.1
Frames Per Dollar - 1.81

4870
Total FPS - 528.9
Frames Per Dollar - 1.70

4870 CF
Total FPS - 615.4
Frames Per Dollar - 0.99

So for a single GPU it looks like hte 4850 gives a really great price to preformance ratio. Now i wanted a little more prefrmance than a single 4850 so I was goign to get a 4870 but the dual 8800 sli for the same price as 1 4870 does way better.

Any way hope it helps some one.

You should divide the FPS by "how many years old" squared, that way, a 3 year old game that gives 180 FPS would be divided by 9 and would add just 20 FPS to th total.

Although if the pool of games is the same for all cards this is not necessary, as the relative results would be the same.

Anyway, thanks for the info.
