Best bang for your buck video cards for SLI..

rUfUnKy · Mar 17, 2007

I'm looking to set up a SLI Rig for display in my shop. I'd like some of your opinions on the best bang for your buck video cards to run in SLI.

get something like 7900GTO's or 7900GT's

Will it be gamed on? If it will be, then SLI 8800GTS's are a pretty nice.

Sorry (blush) ..I should have mentioned that.. I would like to stay around the $250 mark

Raptord · Mar 17, 2007

for 250, you should be able to get atleast some sort of 6800. Maybe 7600's.

Fr3@k3r · Mar 17, 2007

if your lucky you might find a few 7900GS's for around $250-$300 if they are on sale.

This is what I have had my eye so far.. Anyone else have any opinions on these?

why would you buy 2x$150-$300 gfx cards when you can get 1 that spanks them both

To advertise SLI gaming rigs without dumping loads of cash for a computer that is basically for display (ok, and for when I get board

)

oh wow.. lol thats easy than..

grab 2, decent looking, decent performing cards and you only spend $140

rUfUnKy · Mar 17, 2007

Thanks Fr3@k3r ...Yah, that was my other pick... Not sure about the other cards but the fan on this card is pretty loud. I just installed one on a custom build for a customer last week. Great price though..

Fr3@k3r · Mar 17, 2007

well you can always do this combo

silent but deadly LOL

Those are nice

LoneWolf121188 · Mar 18, 2007

I say wait a few weeks for the 8600GTs. I think those are supposed to be right around $150 each, and they have DX10 capability.

Tyranos · Mar 18, 2007

A couple 7800GT's would still do the job nicely.

jtjuska · Mar 19, 2007

7800GTs were what was holding me over till I moved to vista and now I have 1 that doesn't do anything anymore

oh well. If I cared enough I would get an SLI board just so I could have it enabled

.

Also those 7300GTs are pretty sweet for the price range, I have one in my g/fs PC and she loves it. Does any gaming that she throws at it (only Guild Wars but hey).

Bang for the buck and SLI don't go together. You either get a high end 8800 SLUI system to get the best of the best or you go for a single GPU setup. Midrange SLI ist foolish.

BlitzPuppet · Mar 19, 2007

I liked my 7600GT setup, and it's going up for sale in the next few days as well since I got an 8800GTS
