Which is why I sold my Ultra and am waiting for the x2![]()
Good move and if sold earlier enough not much of an upgrade cost either, maybe £100 max????

What would SLI'd GTX's get over 1 on its own??
If they are going cheap its an option i'd like to explore!
I'd flog the GTX, get a 4870 tbh, 1 card, less power and heat and not much slower than 2.
I think the key thing here is to sell before the new cards come out. I sold my 9800 GTX the sunday before the 4870 launch for £160. Obviously I would not get that now. Chopping and changing is the most cost effective way of keeping upto date and its also the most fun.
For the record I paid just over £180 for the 9800 GTX inc delivery.
Indeed - sold the Ultra a couple of weeks ago for £200 so should only cost £100-£150 to upgrade to an x2. Just means I have to survive with a 7600GT in the interimGood move and if sold earlier enough not much of an upgrade cost either, maybe £100 max????
One more thing though, after applying the 8.6 CCC + hotfix driver (after running driver sweeper and getting rid of all the old NVidia files) I now have an unknown PCI Device in device manager.
I've tried scanning through the ATI installation files for a driver match but no such luck... Is it maybe the HDMI-AUDIO driver ?
I did this last week, got rid of my 8800gtx on the flea outlet for £150 and bought me 4870 for £30 extra.
Stuck it in and I am well happy!
FSX still isnt smooth though![]()
Shame rumours now say 4870x2 delayed and will not be available till end of August now.
Long time to live with your 7600GT
I might have to buy a cheap 8800GTX for £70 or a 8800GTS 640 for £40 as an infill if I was waiting that long.
when is the 4870x2 due for release?
i have a 3870x2 but the fan keep chattering away (sounds like it will fall out) so i might hang on a bit before returning it and just upgrade to the 4870x2
