Quad sli with 7950gx2 or 2 ultras

Well I have about $1200 left over in scholarships and I can write off this as a part of a computer (then I will be able to spend it) since i am studying graphic design. It is also going to cost me the same. IV heard that a 7950 GX2 is the best card out.

Nah its not, go for the ultras, theyre newer, use dx10 and are currently the fastest cards around. They also have more than enough ram to do all the graphic rendering you want, assuming the software you're using is optimised to use vram.

Are you actually suggesting two ultras...overkill and a waste of money. Stick with the 8800GT or MAYBE GTX, but not the Ultra. The GT is HALF the price of the Ultra and not much worse.

You can't think of ANYTHING else you need besides an overpriced graphics card? Go buy a couple pallets of Keystone or something.musclesforcier

well yeah thats all my pc is missing

Okay, but I'm saying there isn't ANYTHING besides computer parts that you want/need?

Thanks guys I will be getting the 2 ultras next week. Sorry if i sounded like a noob.UserFrenly_Noob

What kind of PSU do you have. Actually what are all your specs just curious.

Dude a Quadro FX5600 is for rendering, professional editting and all. Btw by school do you mean university? It sounds like you are in middleschool and so therefore you would only need a 6800 if you wnna please your teacher for mindmapping or something hahabluebusiness

im in university thats when people usually have scholarships

You should get two 8800GT cards or wait for the new 8800GTS cards to be released over the next few weeks

and as far as the quad setups go...ATI and NVIDIA are slacking with drivers for dual setups just like most game companies slacking with optimizing for dual setups and everyone is running ahead talking about quad setups???? I think that the graphics companies are giddy with being able to steer us all around like this.:Domino

4 3870's would be better then getting 2 8800 Ultras.... :|karasill

Hey , what specs do you currently have?

Processor?

Motherboard?

You obviously have a 680i or something if you are Sli.

Ram?

[QUOTE="karasill"]Ummm, motherboards that support quad crossifre are already out, because I myself have one.... :roll: If he's going with 2 8800 Ultras, then he has the power supply. The 3870's only suck up 105 watts each under full load. That would equate to 420 watts for all four cards. Not to mention getting 4 3870's is cheaper then buying 2 8800 Ultras. My mid tower case can hold 4 3870's..... :|codezer0

Also, I've seen you around the boards. You seem to get angry really easily. Just face it, you're the one who's full of it. There are motherboards that support quad Crossfire, they're not widespread and mainstream as of yet, but they are out. And please disprove my other points. But you can't, go do us a favor and leave the boards. People like you annoy me, you must thrive on conflict or something. Sad really.karasill

It's bull because I just proved with link that there is no motherboard out there with the slots and ROOMto accept four 3870s. I wasn't talking about performance. And what good is bragging about the performance of four GPU's together if you can't physically fit them on anything? Four 3850s would fit no problem on that motherboard. But there is NO WAY you're going to be fitting four 3870s (with their dual-slot coolers) on the board. Two of those PCI-E slots would be obscured by the fan to cool the first two. Tell me again how four of these are going to fit here. :roll:codezer0

You could use the motherboard I'm using genius :roll: It looks exactly like this: http://www.fadfusion.com/selection.php?product_item_number=10024004727karasill

the 1gig 8800GTS g92 chip comes out this month

You just disproved your own point. Getting a full tower.... :|Some full towers are as small as a big mid tower. I just proved to you that you can have 4 3870's in quad crossfire. You are owned, sorry... You can stand by your statement and spin it all you like but I proved you wrong. Deal with it.karasill
