7800 GTX Sli performance issue?

[Yurka]

Hi, my 3d mark 06 is here:

I've got 2x XFX 7800 GTX but as you see from the above link it says that there are no co-operative display adapters...

I've been doing aload of tests resently as I don't think my performance is up to scratch. But what do you think of that benchmark test? Is that what I should be expecting or ...?

The rig is a free install will lastest drivers etc so any advice would be great, thanks!

Its not bad. Its on par with my old similar system (based on 2x 512MB 7800GT's)

One point difference, lol.

seems about right to me, im not using sli now because im on vista but when i did, i got just under 9k. that was with c2d @ 3.0 which gave about 2500 on the cpu test.

8800gtx = 95% faster than 2 x 7800gtx
I paid almost as much for my 7800gtx as i did for my 8800gtx.

yeah, its kinda odd looking at the new benchmarks with the new cards out there and seeing a massive increase in performance, hence my wondering how my own PC was performing.

If I were to upgrade at the moment, would 1 GTX be worth it or CPU/Ram over the gfx cards? Though 9th gen should be out soonish?

Tempted to clock the X2 abit to try and get abit more out of it till the new G0 chips come out and maybe hold on for the new set of AMD/Intel chips expected in 4 (?)months and get a hold of 2nd gen Quad core chips (as i do like my Sup Comm )

Depends on the game and res you use, below 1600x1200 i would go for a 8800gts 640.
