New PC/Good Price?

so whats the damn point of SLI? they make it seem all god and stuff. if one card can outperform 2 thats insane. i should of got the ATI. also can i use 2 of the ATI with that mobo?

That's for higher end cards... In my view, it's a waste. Too much hassle and issues...

damn i think i need a crossfire mobo to support 2 ATI card amiright?

Yes. Crossfire = ATI, SLi = nVidia. Some motherboards can take both...
 
i guess ill just have to tough it out for a about a month till i can upgrade to a 8800gt then longer down the road get another haha.

Yeah... just don't get 2 GT's... get a Ultra or 9800 if you're gonna get a 2nd card... those will smoke the GT :D

9800? when is that coming out or has it already came out? i hope the price on the 8800 go down after xmas cuz they are really expensive. im not gonna get a new mobo for a ATI cuz then i would have to get a new well alot of stuff haha.
 
Feb I think. 8800 should go down... but not much. They'll go down when the 9800's come out... Wonder if Crysis will be able to be maxed out? :D
 
Meh, Crysis was made for the next gen. cards.

The lowest priced 8800 is the 256MB version, but that's around a HD3850's performance, so the best bang for the buck would be the HD3870...
 
ok i got my pc and its great. i just got done playing some crysis with it on low settings and res at 1280x1024 and it was smooth. the game is amazing and i cant wait to upgrade my vid card and get more RAM to enjoy it fully. i got 2 gig of RAM coming my way so that will put me at 3g total.
 
thats cool, i just played the crysis demo and cant believe how badly it played on my x800gto... i set lowest possible settings and lowered the res to 800/468 and then i got about 40fps, raised the particle quality a little and averaged 20... wow i hate my computer...
 
yeah haha at first i had it at med settings and it was really choppy but when i lowered it to low settings it was all good. im really looking forward to my new upgrades. the face expressions on the characters faces and the gameply alone is amazing.
