Would this be worthwhile?

Would it be worthwhile swapping my SLI pair of 7900GT cards for a single 7900GTX, assuming i could get a straight swap?

More importantly, will a 7900GTX fit my case, its pretty tight with the GTs in there.

I'm no expert but I thought the GTX was only marginally faster than the GT?

the gtx is a lot faster, however the 7900gt can be overclocked far. 7900gt sli would perform better, IMO!

Don't do it, two 7900GTs in SLi will whip a single 7900GTX into tomorrow.

Depends if its straight swap, then id go do it for the GTX seen as its costing you nowt, then you could buy another GTX which would cost, but 2x of em would whip the 2x 7900 GT's.

As at the moment both slots are filled with the GT's, so you have no upgrade path, but if you swap for the GTX, then you do have an upgrade path, as you can buy another one as said, so 2x GTX's in SLi for the price of a single GTX sounds good to me.

id stick with what you have tbh.

Yeah if you don't want to spend any money then stick with what you have.
