8800GT or 9600GT ohh man this is hard.

[QUOTE="mattyomo99"]

SLI 2 9600GT and it will be better then a 8800gt but one on one the 8800gt is alot better

Or how about buying a single 8800GTS 512MB instead of wasting power and money on all the requirements of SLi?

He was planning to change his dual 3870 for a hd3870x2

And graphics cards are getting outdated every 6 months, so in another 2 months you might have something like 9800gt that'd beat the 8800gt hands-down. So the 8800gt isn't future-proof either

The 8800gt should be able to handle future games better because of the higher ammount of SP's.

Higher no. of SPs does not necessarily translate into higher perf. You need a wider memory bus and better overall architecture for that. Take, for example, the HD3850. It has a whopping 320 SPs but has lower perf than the 8800gt with the same memory bus.

I meant that future games will probably require more shader power.
