What can't 2x7800GT's play?
Seems like a waste of money?


Edit: Sorry, I can't read :(

Seeing as you already have dual GT setup, why not wait until the new GeForce 7900s and see what you can do from there.

;) I would get two 7800GTX's 512mb


But if you dont mind getting a crossfire mobo get X1900Xt Crossfire master card and a X1900XT-X. If you do go this route you will save money because the X1900's are cheaper!

Thats what gibbo keeps saying too.

X1900XT in crosfire are faster than SLi & cheaper even if you add the cost of mobo
 
X1900XT CrossFire with a new CrossFire motherboard:

GX-045-CO ATI Radeon X1900 ***Crossfire Edition*** 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-045-CO)
£424.95 £424.95
GX-060-PC PowerColor ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-060-PC)
£324.95 £324.95
MB-129-AS Asus A8R-MVP Crossfire (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-129-AS)
£69.95 £69.95
Subtotal £819.85
VAT £143.48
Total £963.33

2 7800GTX 512MB in SLI (no motherboard):

GX-011-BG BFG GeForce 7800 GTX OC 512MB GDDR3 VIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-011-BG) X2
£449.95 £899.90
Subtotal £899.90
VAT £157.49
Total £1,057.39

I simply chose the BFG just as it happened to be the first I clicked on. All of the other 7800GTX 512MB cards are the same price

As you can see the X1900XT is far cheaper, available and faster! It's the better choice
