As for SLI and my opinion on it, I think you'll find that most people here, even the "older more experienced people" will agree with me.

I'm out.

i get the same thing and im 14
who cares how old you are, asd long as you get the help you need

Wow, that's the first time I even looked at the age of people who posted, never noticed how many people under were here... I mean, I knew there were some, not that many... and guess what... I don't care, if they can think rationally which most(I say most cuz I assume that some can't) of them can, then I'd much rather follow their advice than someone who can't figure out that buying 32% of a card(cuz that's the equivalent of what it is) isn't the deal of the year.

I mean, sure enough there are people who make/have lots of money, not saying I do or I don't, but when we give advice, we tend to think about maximising everything in regards of the money spent.

As for SLI, it is not worth it because the performance gains do not justify the extra money spent. The extra cost isn't only calculated with the GPU, but also the mobo, which needs to be able to take it, the PSU which needs to be able to power it... Then it adds more heat to the case, so the extra needs to cool down... And obviously the extra needs to power it. So, IMHO, it is not worth it for your wallet and the environnement.

It would make more sense, to actually buy a high end card now and buy a brand new one when you need to, the gain in performance will be more significant and it will last longer. Now, of course there are some cases where SLI is useful, but given the little info you gave us, one could not possibly assume you are in that situation.

Information we know about you:
You have a limited budget of 100-175$
You play games
You are not filty rich (assumed from the fact you are thinking about selling your old parts)

whats a good entry level pcie card to buy? Im looking in the $100-175 range cuz im waiting for the 9 series of nvidia cards. for comparison i've been using a aiw x800xt agp and i usually play games around 1024x768-1280x1024 res. its still a decent card but im buying a new system so lets hear your suggestions.

GeForce 7950
GeForce 8600GTS
ATI HD3850

**** You. Wow and Yo Gi Oh are both gay, and its ignorant on your part to say that just kids play WoW. Unfortunately grown men also play that stupid ass game.

I also love how you thank people that help you, as long as their not a kid. I know what kind of person you are, an aarogant jackass with more money than brains.

Easy Alex....

He is arrogant but I think you could probably take it back a notch...and be a little more mature.

I don't think I overacted at all. He's a dick plain and simple.
