Desktops: trouble choosing a graphics card
trouble choosing a graphics card
by swargy - 3/25/08 6:57 PMI am having problems picking a graphics card for the new desktop I'm building.
I want to get the 9800 gx2 but I'm starting to think that I could get better performance with (2) 8800 gts and it would be cheaper but I do not know for sure.
So I'm pretty much looking for the best graphics for around $600 (the price of the 9800gx2)
Also if you have any links to comparisons between 2 8800s and a 9800gx2 post it. I could only find threads comparing one 8800 and one 9800. I did see a thread comparing a 8800 ultra to a 9800gx2 and they were pretty close with benchmarks, but they were also about the same price.
(NT) Did Tomshardware do this yet?

Like someone else said right now 1 9800gx2 is comparable to (2) 8800 GTS cards. (2) 8800 ultras would be faster but it would cost the same as (2) 9800 gx2s.
