Hi
I have a 2x 6800 Ultras Sli, Don't know if to upgrade to 2x 7900 GTX Sli or 7950 GX2??
Not that bothered about water-cooling the graphics cards.
Any help and advice would be great.
Many thanks,
Martin
 
Are your 6800 ultra struggling with anything in particular? I wouldve thought theyd be more than powerful enough for todays games?

If you do want to upgrade tho, id flog your ulras first and then youve got a nice kitty for new gfx.

If it were me id go for a single 7900GTX, X1900XT, or a SLi pair of 7900GT cards.
 
I have a 24" Dell, some game can struggle to run at high res, it would also be nice to have everything turned on...
Thanks for the advice.
 
Yeah, i agree then that an upgrades in order.

Whats your budget? Im assuming you could get at least £120 each for your ultras, so thats £240 into the pot.

Up to you what yopu chose tho mate. Depends om if you want to go SLi again, or go for a single card.

An X1900XT or 7900GTX may be better tho for the 512Mb RAM with that big screen :)
 
Yeah for uber high resolutions with all the eye candy get the 7950, then when they sort the driver out for quad get another, or sell it for an R600. :D
