Two 7900gt's in SLI is equal to what today?

sup3rcarrx8 · Jan 14, 2008

Hey guys. I'm thinking about upgrading my video card(s) within the next few months and i was wondering which ones i should be looking at. I hear the 8800GT is a great midrange card for it's price, but i don't see any in stock anywhere. Also i was wondering what card(s) today are comparable to my 256mb 7900gt's in SLI just for comparison. Thanks!

8800GTS G80 - 8800GT G92.

I am not sure about this, just a guess. I never looked at any benchmarks so don't hold me to this.

79GT SLi should score around 10-11K in a good dual core conroe setup - maybe a little more with a quad.

Equal to a stock 8800GT 256MB on a E6750 @ 3.2ghz

My setup runs just short of 12000 points in 3DM06 11875 to be more precise more or less same every time i run it.

I would say that setup is equivelant of one ATI 3850 overclocked.

Dont get sucked in to the high prices of the 8800gt's is my opinion go for 1 decent single card too sli is a waste in real world performance

Well you can pick up 2 x 7900GT's for <$200 and if you already have a SLI board why not, you could even do a simple volt mod to 1.55 volt that will yield close to GTX speeds with the right cooling, that will be a formiddable pair that can run with any 8800 series card, except for the DX10 part but then again in the real world that does not make a difference IMO

Sadly, you can get my exact card for ~200 new. Obviously less than that if you go used. Since op already has 2x7900gt, imo, hes only worth while upgrade would be GTS g92 and up.

I d say wait for the new series they look really promising(its only a month away now).

sup3rcarrx8 · Jan 15, 2008

Is the new series the G100 cards or something? I usually don't go for the high end stuff, but the stuff in between midrange to under high end. So what series of cards would that be in a month?
