9600gt sli worth it?

[childsy_1985]

I building a new computer. I was going to stick in a 8800gt, but afetr I put my price list together I realised that I had a little left in the bank, and I was wondering weather it would be worth throwing out the 8800gt and replacing it with 2 9600gt's in sli? how muc of a performance boost would I get if any?

Take a look at the new line of cards Nvidia has. They're pretty impressive.

Yes,Two 9600gt's will out perform one 8800gt by 40%.I would go with 9600gt sli,there pretty decent cards.

No, don't do it. If you don't mind waiting a bit, go for the ATI 4870, otherwise the 4850 is pretty good.

You might as well just go for a 8800GT SLi. It's around the same price.

lol no no Im not saying that I have one and im just going to throw it away and buy a new card Im saying would it be worth not getting a 8800gt and getting 2 9600gt's lol. Also I realise that there are better cards out ther but Im on a bit of a budget and only considering getting 2 9600's cause I ave a little left in that budget.

2 9600's willo cost me about $320 Australian owever I ave just found a 9800gtx for $325au, what one sould I choose

9600SLI over the 9800GTX.... but ATI 4850 over both. It probably costs less as well, but is better.

here is the best 9800 GTX card u can get, its not overclocked or nothing, so its safe and its just awesome. and im being serious. im tryin to save money for it though, so i dont have it.
