Another GTX or Wait?

[MinDBlanK]

After having played Crysis demo and the game being "playable" at 1280x1024 ultra settings (all things except shadows to high) I feel a bad urge to purchase
another 8800 for Sli.

Having heard the new cards are coming out soon and the possibility of a new GTX being twices as fast?! would I be better waiting or just going for it?

Any ideas on the prices for the new ones? similar to the cost of my 8800 a year ago? ( £515 :/ )

Oops, been reading the Crysis thread.

Sli aint supported properly and dual/quad cores not being efficently utilised.

Think I'll wait for game then new cards.

After I read your post, I had a look inside my Window and dont see how I could ever SLI 2 Dual Slot card and keep my X-FI as 1 PCI slot needed in a NF680I mobo.

Yip, was gonna be another question.

You think the onboard sound on the 680i would be good enough? Was gonna drop the X-Fi...

You can fit SLI GTX's and an x-fi on the evga...

Thing is tho, the Fatality one i got about 2 years ago the 5.1 one comes back as far as half way accross the fan and is pretty close to gfx card and would
be right next to either card. I used to have 2 7800GTX's on a Asus A8N and even then I felt I never had enough room for air flow and the 680i has less
pci slots and is a slighty shorter board from top to bottom.
