I wonder how this combination will work... Im planning on buying one 7900GX2 7900GX2 uses true SLi and therefore can't fully work with CF board? :help:
You'd be better off buying a single 8800GT or 8800GTS(512). I personally stay as far away as possible from those GX2 cards.
well Im not buying something powerfull right now 7900GX2 would be just untill 9800gtx as this x1800xt isnt mine and im returning it
The GX2's were compatible with non-SLI motheboards on release - however, i'd see if nv have a compatibility list on their website that includes newer boards. As the others have said, I would consider something along the lines of a single GPU card rather than a GX2. If you dont want to break the bank how about a 3850?
Up that slightly to 125€ and you should be able to get a 8800GT - which, IMO, is superior to a 7900GTX... EDIT: Oh and a 3850 is an ok card too... But the 8800GT is faster...
Agreed - if you can afford/find a cheap 8800GT (maybe a 256mb 8800GT?) then that would be the way to go. I was advising the 3850 purely from a price point of view.
A 7950GX2 would outperforme all those cards.I mean,i'm not talking about the 8800GT 512 but the 256 edition is rubish and the 3850,imo is too;and the 9600GT (wich is better than the 7950gx2) is not out yet.BUT,oh hell no you'll run a 7950GX2 with a 480w power supply.Why don't you look for a used 8800GTS 320mb,i think they are pretty cheap now.
