8800GTs in SLi

by sine • 22 May 2008, 12:14 • Journals
Anyone running a similar setup with pref. a dual core CPU? If so, do you think it's worth the money?

Buying new system on wednesday and I'm not sure whether it's worth the extra cost as my monitor's only 20" and I'm pretty sure that the only performance increase I'll notice is if I'm using a huge resolution.

Any input chaps?

What do you plan on doing, playing ET with that setup? D:

ET, COD4, Crysis, I'd like to be able to play the latest games at decent settings!

It's not essential if I won't see much diff. between a single and a double 8800GT at lowe resolutions, I just wasn't sure :)

A single 8800GT will be fine for all those.

Then you only need an e4500 and an 8600GT. Spend the extra cash on Kleenex :D

well, he's on 1680x1050 so he can use the extra performance, also, better cooling than stock 8800gt. it only costs like a few tens of euros more, so i'd get it if he's already planning to spend money on 2 gt's

ah ok, btw have you overclocked your gfx-card? and should I overclock my 8800GTS 512? :p
Parent

fredd 22 May 2008, 15:36
700/1840
core/mem
factory overclock, so no. i'm also running passive cooling.
well, overclock when you need the extra power, otherwise don't
