In simplest terms,

X1900XT > 7900GTX,
SLI > Crossfire

I'm upgrading at the end of the month too (burfday moneh, you see), so I priced up a dual 7900GT system to piss you all off. Then I shat myself and decided one 7900GT was good enough and that I could get an Athlon 64 X2 4200 with the money for the second one instead.

Nice :shock:

Is that £400 for both cards?
If so where did you order them from?

P.S. The stickers are worth the price alone :lol:

BFG look quite good. I was looking at getting the 7900GT (with a second later) because they come factory overclocked.

Maybe one day we'll get a standard for physics accelerators in DirectX... maybe call it DirectBonk or summat.

That Physics chip would seem like a good investment. But! Games have to specificly support it for it to go anygood. Maybe if it became more mainstream?

yup, i imagine it'll be a worthy upgrade in 6-8 months, once there's games that'll support it.

Bloody hell, what are they going to come up with next?

One card that deals with red, the other blue, and another one for green?
