8800gt sli upgrade worth it ?

[nebulator]

I currently have a 8800GT, i may be able to get hold of a second one cheap, like £70-80. But, is it worth it ? money and performance wise, my current rig hasn't got an sli mobo nore a sli supporting psu, so i'd need to purchase both of these.

Could you spec me a cheap ish sli mobo ( 775 ( got an e2200)) and an sli supporting psu ? Please.

Another route would be a 4800 series card, which will obviously be a hella lot cheaper ...

Whats your current mobo?

Abit Ip35e but im gonna be changing it anyway soon as its broken i think .. so its either a £50 mobo that'll do the job or wait a bit and go for a sli mobo...

If youre mobo is dead, i would get an intel board to replace it. Maybe a p35 blood iron or a p45 p5q. On the graphics side tho i would go for a 4850 if you can afford it. Psu i would go for a corsair hx series. I take it youre 8800gt no longer cuts it for you?

Definitely get a 4850/4870

I would recommend the 4870 as it would be a nice upgrade from the 8800GT

But whatever you do dont get another 8800gt you may aswell get something from thr 4800 series

Agreed. Definitely get the 4850 or better yet the 4870.

Agree with the 4870 comments but not 4850 from a 8800 GT.

But when 2 8800 GT's work well in the right games, it can surpass a 4870, 4870 would be more consistent in all games however.
