Well, I'm currently in the process of trying to plan a new computer I'm going to build. Purpose is mainly gaming. Likely internet, music, MP3s, and other stuff, but mainly gaming and the rest is just a luxury that I could do on a cheaper computer, so I want what's best for gaming.
Anyway, I was a bit ago considering going SLI with two GeForce 6800 Ultras or GTs, but the performance increase in the benchmarks didn't seem to really justify the price. (As SLI is commonly viewed, anyway.)
On the other hand, instead of $846 for dual GTs or bit more for Ultras, I could get a 7800 GTX for a considerably amount cheaper and I could always go SLI with another one soon after if I really wanted.
Simply put, does the 7800 GTX work as good or around as good as SLI 6800s to justify getting a single 7800 GTX at $200 cheaper than two of the latter?
Also, will it be likely for 512MB video cards to require a different motherboard from the current ones that support SLI? (Haven't looked into motherboards as much, but I might be leaning towards the Abit FATAL1TY AN8 SLI Socket.)Just wondering.
Thanks in advance!
