8800 GTS OC'd version VS. HD 3870 X2.....

Well , I'm looking to get one more card. I was going to SLI my two GTS's but decided against the hassle of it all.

Anyway , would a HD 3870 X2 be a noticable difference in gaming compared to my XFX 8800GTS XXX 512mb?

I have two of these cards now but one I can still get a refund on so the price difference would only be about $150. If I where to SLI them the price would be about $300 more (MOBO , ect..)

So now I'm just going to overhaul my 4th rig and trying to decide on what card to use.

Im not shure. I do know that it sometimes performs better than an 8800Ultra.

The thing is that the games have to support Crossfire to fully use the 3780x2's if not then a 8800GT/GTS/GTX will beat a 3870x2. Like in crysis a 8800gts 512 beats a 3870x2 but in most games that do support crossfire the 3870x2 wins but. Two 8800GTS in sli cream a single 3870x2. so no worries.04dcarraher

Ya umm thats like saying a 8800GTS 512 creams a 3870 it's true, but put it in context...teh 8800GTS is much more expense and two 8800GTS's are much more expensive then a 3870x2
