9800gt's vs 260gtx

[tinymidget1979]

Basically wondering about which would be best running crysis. They will both cost me the same amount of $.

if by 9800 gt's y mean sli'd...
then they will provide more performance...
much more... more than a gtx 280...

 

[tinymidget1979]

yeah sli, so I should go for the dual 9800gt's then over the 260 and 280?

Also with the dual 9800gt's what psu should I get for it?

 

[Nica Guy]

yeah dual 9800 gt's (same thing as dual 8800gt's) outperform both of those cards, let me look for the benchmarks ill post them right away...

also note that for the same price u get a 9800gx2
and is better than any card on the market except for the 4870x2

9800gx2 also more powerfull than dual 9800gt's...

 

[tinymidget1979]

Would a quad core 2.2ghz be enough for a 9800gx2?

if u overclock it a little bit its fine... maybe at 2.2 also im not sure...
