9800GTX still good enough?

[ray168]

Will be upgrading my computer to sandy bridge soon, most likely the 2600k, and the Asus P8P67 motherboard, i'm not much of a PC gamer so would my SLI 9800GTX be good enough? Or would I need to upgrade to something to benefit the upgrade?

9800gtx in sli is still good enough, but some games that dont support sli dont expect high details

I'd sell them both and get a 460 or something similar. What games do you occassionally play then?

Not really been playing much games as of late on the PC, last games i played were left for dead 2 and a bit of fifa.... i doubt i will be doing much gaming on the PC.
If i could still use the same cards on the sandy bridge setup it would save me from buying new cards, but would this effect the system performance in anyways?

Don't see why not imo.

I'm a gamer and I use a 9600 GSO, it still works on all the games I play on full - TF2, DOW so yeah its fine .

Just out of interest, would these cards still be worth anything if i were to sell them?

Roughly £35-£45 if you're lucky, what resolution do you play your games at?

For anything below 1680x1050 the 9800GTX should be ok with most recent games, you'll just have to turn some settings down here and there.

lol thanks, kind of expect these prices.
Back then i paid about £200 each card for sli setup but never actually play much games, kinda wasted money on these cards lol.
