graphics card

[justleftlife]

well from my knowledge... If you are going to run SLI the first card gets 16x and the other either gets 1x or 4x something like that. Depending on the mobo specs you might not even want to go SLI, who knows. But i only found solid specs on the 7900 its looks good to me. they both have ddr3 mem and the pixel per clock might be alittle higher on the 7950.

dont worry about the mobo its an asus a8n 32 so it runs both cards at 16x

What bout that?

[public_eyesore]

you cant use that, thats a crossfire master card, and im pretty sure it wont even work as a normal video card. I suggest a x1900gt its the same performance as a 7900gt and here in the states it goes for $200

[sirkillalot617]

thanks but i was hoping for nvida as it allows me to add to it in the future do you think 2 7900gs would hold me in good stead till next summer

[sirkillalot617]

which will offer me more power 2 7900gs in sli or 1 x1900xtx im not bothered about upgrade paths as il get a completely new card come christmas

listen to me when I say SLI is useless until you get into high res gaming.

Yeah I agree SLI/Crossfire is just for high-res gaming. I currently have a X1900XTX but my friend has a 7900GTX and I think they perform about the same except I can run AA and HDR at the same time and I can overclock more. I would recommend ATI X1900XT,XTX. If you want to go with a dual-card solution I would go with crossfire: there were a few tests where dual X1900XTX's outperformed a Quad-SLI configuration.

I would love to get my hands on a 1900 or 7900. I have a x700 and i think its damn good. I play BF2 on mostly high settings. I turn the dynamic lighting down. Who cares about a high def shadow anyway right
