I wouldn't go for a second 7-series card. I'd save towards a good mid-high end card (a 3850 might be a good bet, or an 8800GTS if you can spend a little more), and sell the card you have now.

You'll get better performance, better compatibility, and a better featureset.

A job.

Lol only joking but yes I think the 3850s are better than the last gen high end.

AIDS?

Do you need another card? Is it under-performing in games you play?

I'd say a single card always > than SLi / Xfire

sli isn't reccomended by most people. i say sell it and get a 3850.

i do actually have a job lol, leme go check these 3850s

I've had a 7950gx2 (pretty much 7900gt's in SLI anyway) and the 3850pro 256mb. The ATi is easily as fast if not faster. It uses much less power, overclocks excellently on the stock cooler and runs very quietly.

Can't lose TBH.

I would recommend getting the 512mb variety though as some modern games demand more than the cheaper versions 256mb.

Not so much more expensive.

Either pay out £40 for another 7900, or pay out £60 for the 3850 (£100 out, and £40 back when you sell your card)

But anyway, having used SLI'd 7800GTXs (very similar spec card to yours) I'd recommend waiting for a new gen rather than getting another 7900.
