8800 GT vs 7950 GX2

[335th_GRAthos]

Agree with you choctaw111

the main difference (and importance) of what GOZR writes is:

One 7950GX2 (two 7900GTX combines into one card) fits in one PCie slot motherboards and cost today (second hand eBay) EUR 200,--
Which probably serves the needs of mainstream computer users who do not plan to buy a new PC.

Two 8800GTX fit only in SLI motherboards with 600Watt+ PSUs which is 2 x EUR 400,00 = EUR 800,00 investment (plus the cost of a new PSU).

For the performance the 7950GX2 delivers in IL2FB it is unbeatable!

Remains to be seen though whether the new ATI 3870 (priced about the same) delivers more.
