Back in feb I ordered an Alienware aurora R3 which had Dual 1GB GT545's in SLI. I know this is a pretty low end card for a "gaming computer" but in SLI I figured it'd be enough to get my by until I made the decision to upgrade to a single better performing card.
I know i could have built or purchased more pc for the money everyone assumes I paid for this pc, just because it's an alienware but this thread isn't about wasting money on an Alienware pc, this is about the comparison of the single 1GB DDR5 555GTX to the 545's
So I assume that the 555 is slightly better based only on the numbering scheme higher number should be better right??
The reason I am asking this question is my aurora had problems from the start and now Dell is replacing it with a new PC, looking at the order sheet it shows 1 555GTX instead of the dual 545's that I originally had..
Should I be upset or be thankful.
Again this isn't about cost of the pc or what I could of had, but if they are going to replace my system which had 2 cards, should I be complaining that im now down to only one or will I see an upgrade here.. I've always heard that a single "better" card will always outperform 2 lesser cards, but being as that the model numbers are so close, I'm concerned that I've been slighted here.
Thank You.
