X 2 Geforce 8800gt Vs Geforce 9800gtx+ dark / other cards

I have seen several reviews recently, both on line and in print that show two 8800gt cards in SLI performing very well indeed. If you could get a second at a good price i would go that way. If it was going to cost close to a newer card i would get the newer card 9800GTX(+) or HD4850 and sell your GT on.

yeah another 8800 GT would be a nice way to go .

two 8800GT's will wipe the floor with ANY SINGLE GPU. that means obviously it wont compete with 4870X2's or 9800GX2's, but will even own a GTX 280  

seriously. been said that many times... google is your friend?

4870x2 lol, that may be a bit of an overstatement  

definately the best value would be to just purchase another 8800gt
those things PWN!

hi thanks very much for your replies

ive actually found out that im using a xpertvision 8800 sonic which is meant to have an edge over a normal 8800gt and i think im going to go sli as ive found this :

Unless there is a single card out there thats price may be reduced due to new cards coming out or somthing which i should seriously consider?

i think throwin in another 8800gt would be your best bet 
jealousy >: (

try to get another 8800gt that is equivalent to your current 8800gt though becuase the system will automaticly choose the lowest clocked card as the default speed for both cards.
and oh yeh, setting up multicard configs is a pain in the butt as far as installing drivers goes.
had "tons" of fun trying to get my 3870s in crossfire  

yeah rambo i was saying it WOULDNT be as fast as a 4870X2... obviously. 4870 vs 8800GT? no comparison.

ohhhhhhhhh duh, read wrong hehe xD

8800gt is still an awesome buy though 
if it were possible, id sell my 3870's and buy a pair of 8800gt's but i cant cause my board is only crossfire  
maybe someday i will built an intel/nvidia rig like you V3NOM
 

P55 SLI?  

lol!! that would be amazzing xD

i just want an E8400 that i can overclock the heck out of and a good pair of nvidia cards for SLI.
your CPU has some good potential it seems
(uh oh, we may end up taking over this thread lol)

ah so you would say the radeon 4870 is MUCH better than X2 8800gts? or are they quite equal?

because its price may come down and could easily be fitting into my budget

  thread jacking ftw!

dude, two 8800GT's would own a 4870 completely. two 8800GT's would be raped by a single 4870 X2.  

lol, funny how that works huh?

@ Jamess,

just what i wanted actually, some proof  
im pretty sure im sorted now and another xpert vision 8800gt sonic should be on its way soon  

lol i could link you an anandtech site showing graphs of popular graphics cards in a bunch of games... but im too lazy
