2 x 2900Pros in Crosssfire OR 1 x 8800GTX - what do you think?

[Blue frog]

Calm down, I am not "we" all think that multi GPU is always better than a single. Here in the UK an 8800GTX costs about £230 upwards. Bearing in mind that the 9 series is likley to be released soon the prices of the 8 series will have to come down a bit, making it unattractive to buy at this time.

so i wont say anything, also there....

So don't!

I am not going to say anything more because no one listens, go and think that MultiGPU performs better than single card in every game,so i wont say anything, also there are tons of benchmarks (apart from hothardware) that 1 8800GTX performs better than 2 HD 3870 in games, i am not going to post them because no one listens, i am very sorry for u all who think that MultiGPU is always > single card

I dont think people were ignoring everything you were saying, perhaps just counting on crossfire to mature over time a little thats all. Calm down!

Yes I'm in the UK. ordered the cards from Novatech. Should be at home when I get home from work - ready to be installed - hopefully.

Overclockersuk were also doing a good deal on them - but Novatech's free postage made them cheaper overall.

One big point some have come to us with .... do you have room on your motherboard for 2 dual slot video cards ? Make sure a dual will fit in both slots !

 

[FatFunkey]

uh i would try to save some dough and get an EVGA 8800GT if you can find 1...why? In Feb (with the 90days ordering even today should cover u till end of Feb early March) but in Feb Nvid is releasing a new High end..so the rumor goes..

Note: 2900XT > 3850.
View THW VGA chart in overall FPS.
3870 vs 2900XT = smaller margin than 2900XT vs 3850 + $100 cheaper
2900XT CF almost equal in overall FPS to 8800GTX + $150-250 cheaper

Good for budget performance rigs.
Otherwise, i'd be looking at G92 SLI after the GF9 series cuts prices on GF8 series.
