At a resolution of 3840 x 1024 I'd think SLI would be the way to go.
I'm not a fan of using 1xx series drivers on older cards, the new drivers are really designed for the newer cards and just happen to have backward...
So you swapped a hard drive that had Nvidia chipset drivers installed into a system that uses the Intel P35 chipset? I'd suggest DriverCleaner...
8800GT has a known over heating issue because the fan only turns at 29% by default. Use RivaTuner to increase the fan speed, anywhere from 45 to...
I'd say it's either a driver issue or a heat issue. I'll likely catch some heat for this, but I think the 1xx.xx series drivers work best on 8xxx...
Well said.
I'm going against the apparent trend of this thread. Don't buy a second graphics card, save your money and buy a new motherboard, RAM and CPU.
My Leadtek 7950GT runs rather cool, I don't think I've been able to get it hotter than 65C and that is with the stock cooler. You might want to...
92.91, 93.81, 94.24, or NGO 2.9792 have all worked well for me. I prefer the NGO driver for my 7950GT and I leave all of the 1xx.xx series...
Dual core CPU's are the wave of the present and future, as for quad cores, there is precious little software that makes use of a quad core and few...
I also have a 7950GT and I'd get an 8800GT if the rest of my computer was modern like yours. I think the 8800GT is the best value of the entire...
Did this stutter begin after installing new video card drivers?
I think 430 watts and 18 amps is cutting it really thin, I'd upgrade the PSU before installing a new video card.
Word is that the 8800GT fan turns rather slow, so yes, crank it up and those temps should fall.
Extremely nice. :D
The 6800 Ultra is a good card, I ran one until I upgraded to a 7950GT. The 6800 Ultra was an expensive card in its day and if I had known then...

I can think of a couple of possibilities. Do you have AMD's "Cool-n-quiet" turned on? That might do it, I don't really know how it changes...
I don't know about increased performance through 8800GTS's in SLI vs. a single 8800GTX. My gut feeling is that you may not see a difference...
I'd look at the warranty and tech support aspects of the various manufacturers. The cards themselves are pretty much the same. If you go to...
