Dell xps600 video update

[gozarteum]

Hello.. I need your help to upgrade my old nvidia 6800GT and select two cards in sli or crossfire that may be Ati Radeon 4770 x 2 or Nvidia 9800 gt matrix x 2 . my motherboard is Nnidia nForce4 SLI x16 MCP. Thanks a lot .. Bye

Your motherboard will not support Crossfire, only SLI.
What resoloution do you play in, and what type of games?
The 9800GT is a good card still, but would you consider other options? For example, if you play at higher resoloutions perhaps a pair of 9800GTX 1Gb cards might be a better choice.

Do you really need 9800GT's in SLI? Also can't XPS systems overclock?

According to Dell, the PSU is 650Watts! On a Dell! Must equate to about 800W from anyone else
The 9800 is, as I said, still a good card, particularly used in SLI but what resoloution do you use? You might get better results with another pair of cards, or just one (GTX260 for example).
