Upgrading from a x1900xt to?????

[KarlMcWade]

hi all looking to upgrade my faithful x1900xt 755 core 872mem (512mb) to something with a lot more poke question is will i notice any difference ?

looking down a few views

x3870xt x2 in crossfire

x3870 x2 (dual gpu 1 mobo job)

8800 GTX

All the above would get water cooled, i,m on a x38 mobo and on + 4ghz quad power

All depends on the resolution you game at.

Personally, I'd go for 3870s in crossfire once the next price drop hits (hopefully next week)

I upgraded from 1900xtx to 8800GT...it's faster. Crysis is fair bit smoother. Roughly 2000-3000 more in 3dmark 06 (I think 7000 before, 9800 now) Can't quite get 10K, bit unstable. ati was at 688/792

You on water? 755 seems really high

Why have you posted my original responce?

I changed my mind due to not knowing your resolution.

The GX2 can be watercooled.
