i have got a bfg 7800gtx, and now the new cards are out im thinking of gettin one or two.......what would be best....1x7900gtx or 2x7600 gt,s....cheers guys
 
Hmmm out of those two the 7900GTX is faster.

However if you arn't particularly bothered about having a ATI card the X1900XT's on the this weeks special make more sense (on a cost v performance ratio at least).

Also look at the 7900GT / X1800XT both offer excellent performance and are both considerably cheaper than eitherthe X1900 / 7600gt's in SLI.
 
7900GTX = X1900XT speeds.

Considering the "This week only" prices for many of the X1900XT & X1900XTX cards, that is what i would recommend. :D
 
In answer to your question, the 7900GTX will be faster. I distinctly remember people trying SLi'ed 660GT's and hoping this would flatten the top end cards but it just didn't - I shouldn't imagine much different here. When you slap on the AA/AF, the GT's SLi'ed just fell over.

The above have given good advice though. The cost of say an X1900XT-X or XT is amazing value for money and despite the fact that nV prices will drop soon, I doubt you will see as big a drop as this. £281 for the 3rd fastest card around is amazing value. The GTX may be slightly faster, but at least £70 more faster? I don't know.
