Hi Chaps,
I'm planning my new build. I can either go single GPU or go for SLI. I'm going to use 8800GT cards. My monitor currently has resolution of 1280 x 1024 maximum.
Is it worth going for a SLI setup as it will cost roughly the same as the single GPU but without the second card? I'm thinking about adding another card in the future when I can afford it. I'm thinking about this for future proof reasons and that i won't be able to afford to do another big upgrade for a year or two.
I've looked at the frame rates from some of the bench marking posted on here and there is a increase in some games with SLI setup. I'm also thinking that as new games come out which are going to use more GPU then maybe 2 cards would be better.
Any advice would be appreciated as i really want to put my order in and get the pc as soon as possible but i'm really stuck on this one.
