With new Catalyst 6.8 X1900GT is faster or has similar performances as 7900GT. I posted links to Anandtech. And those tests are fresh. Not to mention that GeForce 7 series can’t HDR+AA.Originally Posted by Geezer57
There is no card X1950GT. Only X1950XTX. Best buy now is Radeon X1900XT with 256 MB.Originally Posted by Geezer57
Those cards are not worth for that money. Radeon X1900GT has price as GeForce 7900GS and is a far away faster.Originally Posted by Geezer57
I agree 100% about MSI motherboards.Originally Posted by Geezer57
DS3 cost little more and is better.Originally Posted by Geezer57
SLi and CrossFire based systems are waste of money. Why?Originally Posted by Geezer57
1. You need powerful processor.
2. Need very good motherboard with support and they have high price.
3. It only worth for playing games above 1600x1200 resolutions.
4. For playing in those resolutions you need large (over 20”) and quality monitor which cost pretty.
5. SLi and CrossFire are marketing of nVidia and ATI.
6. Need more arguments?
Conclusion: waste of money.
Ah, typical marketing of nVidia (ATI lesser use that in promotion) – next year I will sell my old graphics card and buy the new DX10 which will wipe out your SLi or CrossFire based system and your solution will cost you more than mine.Originally Posted by Geezer57
Arguments:
1. SLi/CrossFire motherboards cost more than non SLi/CrossFire models.
2. You need high quality power supply (SLi/CrossFire certified).
3. You need very good case for cooling because of high heat.
4. Plus 5 previous arguments…
Conclusion: it’s not worth except if you can find two GeForce 7900GS cards for $200 and put in SLi. This combination is faster than single Radeon X1950XTX or GeForce 7900GTX and cost less than those two cards but GeForce 7xxx can’t HDR+AA.
