Hi ya fellas,

After being out of the p.c game for a while, i've sorted meself out with some cheapy components to build a p.c .

The monitor i am going to get is the OCUK 24" as it looks bloody good for the money.

Can anyone provide me with any info as to which is better 2x 6800GT's in SLi or 1X X1800XT

Thanks in advance

Steve

(i think i know the answer but would like it confirming)
 
Building a cheap system with a 24" screen? You're not planning on playing many games apart from BF2 right? That X1800XT might start to struggle in other games.

I used to play HL2 and BF2 with no problems with an Opteron@ 2.9ghz and 2Gb of memory - but i *think* that was with a 7900GTX and i can't remember if it compares with an X1800XT

Were has the 7900GTX gone :confused:, 7900GTX is quite abit better than an X1800XT I think.
 
Nah, i flogged it over 2 years ago along with the rest of my kit.

Since then ive been using a laptop and not really gaming at all.

Now i've bought a house with a study i want a p.c back in there.

Ive found an X1800XT for £40 so if you know of any 7900GTXs going for that price then let me know. :D

yep. it plays bf2 and bf2142 and wow fine at that res, bioshock it isnt very smooth maxed out a that rez and some of the new fps would need to be on very low settings i would imagine
 
Ive got an Xbox 360and PS3 for up-to-date gaming, i just want a cheap p.c so i can play all of my old games i still own, have a permanent set up p.c with printer and all my camera and ipod stuff.
 
2x 6800GT in SLI on paper would thrash a single 1800XT...

In real world I don't know as the 6 series in SLI never really did as well as the 7 series does in SLI...
 
i have just got rid of my 6800 in preference for an 8800, but in all honesty it played everything i tried with no problems.

latest games i played was graw2, quake wars (just the demo) cod4 and sof3 (it did struggle with sof3 a bit though)

so 2 6800s will play any of those easily.

my 6800 was an SFS 512meg version though
