Guys

Please put my mind at rest .

I have a 24Inch Dell 2407 monitor and one BFG 8800GTX (rest of rigg in sig ).
If I buy another 8800GTX and SLI the mothers will i see any improvements in any games ?

Please bare in mind that i have no slow down or any issues at the moment ?
Also i m gonna have to slap out on a new PSU as well .

So im looking at approx
£350 for a new 8800GTX
£190 fora new PSU

£490 for an SLI upgrade,,,,,is it worth my hard earned ?
 
Unless you are running at some extremely high resolutions I doubt a second 8800 will give you much an improvement. In the very least i doubt it would improve enough to justify sinking another 500 beer tokens. :)
 
sounds like you want to spend that money when you dont need to.

Thats the whole point of the thread , if i can see any marked imporovement then i will spend my hard earned .

Seems the only upgrade for me that will see any significant improvements is the following

Another 8800GTX £350
new PSU £190
30Inch dell £1000 ?????????????

£1490 .

Think i will stick with 24 inches .

you cant make a marked improvement if you cant find any faults in the first place lol:)

My question for you is, what games do you play? Cause AFAIK, graphically demanding games when you set to 16xAA 16xAF in 24" reso will make your fps drop.
 
C&C3 has already arrived ;)

I wouldn't bother in all honesty. Wait and see if there's a new card altogether that you fancy in the next couple of months, instead:)
 
2xGTX is a waste of money. With the hassle of setting up SLi and then the only real increase in performance being a few more FPS which probably isn't going to be noticable by the human eye I think its silly. Definately overkill. One GTX would run anything thesedays provided CPU and RAM are up there too, otherwise bottleneck.
