Ok i have a 7800GTX 256MB BFG card, now should i get another 7800GTX in SLi or get a 7900GTX 512MB or any other options eg 7950 or X1900 etc, got a Dell 24" so play games at high res :confused:
 
It is an upgrade, but for the performace increase its not worth it, id either go for the x1900/7900 GTX, or if you want bags of eye candy at uber widescreen resolutions, then the 7950 GX2 can't be touched. :)

This card will be useless at the res he wants to game at so why suggest it? :confused:
Not much faster than the card he has either.

The card to get is the GX2 7950,Will be great for that resolution too.
I have one on its way!

Stick with what you have, it's a great card and should easily last until the middle of next year (when DirectX 10 games begin to proliferate.) If you just have to upgrade though, going from a 7800GTX to anything short of a 7900GTX or X1900XT wouldn't be worth it at all.

Adding a second 7800GTX would be a good option too, if you can find one for a decent price.

i think even the 7800gtx will start to struggle in very recent games such as oblivion or condemned for instance, 1920x1200 is one hell of a resolution for a single card to power

by far the best and cheapest course of action as long as you have a good enough PSU, the only thing that would be better than this option is to upgrade to a 7950 and thats a lot of money

no, afaik you can use any 7800gtx from any board partner now with the recent drivers going back a little while now too. im pretty sure though, that if you got a slower clocked card, the faster card would auto match the slower cards clocks. but having never has SLi i cant say for deffinate, im sure someone will put you right if im wrong though
 
I'd go with adding a 7800gtx for now and then upgrade to a dx10 card when they eventually arrive! 7800's in sli should work fine at that high res! :)
