Graphics Card Upgrading

[willow]

OK bit of a newbie when it comes to hardware, so I thought I'd ask here first.

I wanna upgrade to a DX-10 system for when Crysis is released (of course)

Is it better for me to get two 8600 cards in SLI, or one mega 8800 GT ?

I googled this one and found out that it won't actually cost you too much more for an 8800GT card but you DO get more performance out of a single 8800 than 8600's in SLI.

Plus if you get an SLI capable board and start of with a single 8800GT then you can always get another when the prices drop and still keep up with future game graphics just that little bit longer ! :)

Future proofing FTW

Bingo! I'm getting one at the end of this month now (8800GT) with an SLI board just in case :) yay whos up for crysis?

yep, taking the plunge just for crysis. 8800GT FTW (maybe even GTS I dont really mind)
