ok so the 9800GX2 didnt really work out (those freakin 8 pin PCI-E power cables, argh!!!!!!!)

anyway, since 9800GX2 is basically 8800GT(S) G92 x2, but together, wouldnt having 2x 8800GT in SLI be basically the same??

i mena SLI i can run with my mobo, and my PSU has the reqiured 2x 6 pin connectors (i believe each 8800GT uses 1)

does the 8800GTS 512mb use only 1 6 pin aswell>>???

oh, and any benchmarks on the internet (could you give me links?) and if any of you have 8800GT in SLI, if you could tell me some AVG FPS in games like, CoD4 and Crysis and WiC, that would be much appriciated

thanks!

Unless you're obessed with the best benchmarks I've found a single 8800 GT card to be able to run all current games at high settings. I'm more interested in gaming performance than benchmarks. Framerates are deceptive. The average human eye registers anything beyond 16 fps as continuous motion (this varies per individual) so spending a lot of money for SLI is a waste IMO. Right now a single 8800 GT card will give your excellent performance in all games. Save your money and buy a bigger monitor or better speakers. The will really enhance your gaming experience. My two favorite pc components are my monitor and my 5.1 speakers.

Why don't you just get a new PSU that works with your GX2? Seems like the most simple solution to me... O_o

LOL
well i would get a new PSU, but im building a new computer, middle - end of next year

so i want something to alst me till then
maybe i'll just stick wif my 8800GTX for now,

and 16FPS??
for me, it HAS to be over ATLEAST 60FPS, unless, Crysis, for some reason 30+ FPS looks good for it
but for CoD4 30FPS seems ALOT slower

but can someone give me some of their AVG FPS in games that i mentioned above???

and also, i would OC the cards
and also about the PSU as i said before, its too expensive and i really CBF to get all the wires out and then make them clean all again just for that,

I play COD4 (maxed) at 30 fps and i really, really tryed to find it unplayable, laggy but it just wasn't even at heavy battles. Some games even drop to 20 or 16 fps (RT3,SC4) and they are still playable so i don't quite understand

"60fpsat least or i'm not playing"

yeh some games are actually playable and look smooth at 30 FPS some are just sh*t
but apparently Crysis Warhead is WASY more optimised
