2 x 6600GT SLi(256mb) or 1 x 7900GT

JaseUK · 26 Jun 2006 at 20:34

Guys,
Lookin to upgrade but unsure if I will achieve better performance. Should I stick with my 2 x 6600GT's in SLi config or buy one 7900GT.
Can sell 2 x 6600GT fairly easily I hope to obtain cash to pay for 7900GT.
What you reckon guys.
Cheers in advance!!!!!!!!

A single 7900GT will walk all over those two 6600GT's.

There's no 7900GT, but the 7800GTX is only slightly behind performance wise.

7900GT

i agree the 70900gt all the way and it will performe much better in games because even today many games do not have the file to run in sli when fear first came out it could not run in sli but eventaly the develper relised a patch what did support sli

A 7900gt will make the 2 6600gts look like crap tbh.
As much of a difference as goin g from software rendering up to a 6600gt

Thanks for the advice guys!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will buy one when I've got the cash.

even a 7600gt is faster than 2 6600gt's in sli.

Agree with all of the above, 7900 GT will whoop them.

JaseUK · 26 Jun 2006 at 21:06

can someone lend me the money, honest I'll pay it back in kindness

doran1801 · 26 Jun 2006 at 21:19

i have 2 6800gt's, how much are they worth if i were to sell them for a 7800?

Cyber-Mav · 26 Jun 2006 at 21:26

pci-e or agp?

JaseUK · 26 Jun 2006 at 21:28

What would you guys reckon 2 x XfX 6600GT's (256mb) PCi Express, are worth together.

Well if he has two of them, i'm guessing he's running them SLi, so pic-e.

Its the Members Market, but you need about 250 posts, and have been registered for about 90 days before you can see/enter it, and once you have enabled your trust.

get rid of that old tech and grab yourself a fantastic clocking 7900 GT
