How to upgrade 2 6800 Ultra SLI Config?

[colinchen70]

Hi,

I've got a dual geforce 6800 Ultra SLI set-up, with an A8N-SLI motherboard. Can anyone recommend an upgrade route for me? I am slightly leaning towards using a single card as the two 6800 ultras chuck out too much heat.

Many thanks
Colin

Somwthing like a single 7900GTX / 8800GTS should be better id have thought

6800u-SLI is no slouch and to make an upgrade worthwhile personally I would only consider a gf8.

 

[jaykay]

a 7900gtx,1950xt/pro or a geforce 8 series should be a good upgrade

to match the power of those 6800 Ultras you will want a G80.
A 8800 GTS if you are on a budget (you could always buy a second one later on when they come down in price, for maximum power )

or an 8800 GTX if you want the most powerful thing on the planet

I would have thought a 7950 GT upwards would beat an 6800 SLI setup.

Yup easy.

My SLi 7800GT's were about as fast as a X1900XT/X

So SLi 6800's are going to be under that...
