hello friends .
I am planing to buy a new card somewhere in the month of december.
My budget is atmost 10k

1) Which do you think is an better option a SLI of 8600gt(total=512mb) or a single 8800gtx(320mb)
2) Is there any other option please do suggest ,

Thanks in advance
 
8800GTS

This is not a deciding factor but Maya gives annoying viewport glitches with 8600GT on XP and Im not talking of one isolated case. 8800GTS seems ok.
 
:) December is a long time away and tech changes very fast....

I feel no answer would be appropriate as it depends on the cards and the prices at that time
 
Go for the 8800GTS.It'll be nice!!

and you could add another one whenever you like.Imean if u win a lottery or

something :p

but I had say go for the 640Mb one!:/
 
OK I have the SAME QUESTION with a MIX !!! ....

i am planning to buy a GFX this mnth ....

shall it be

2*8600GT

OR

1*8800GTS

here is the catch i prefer 2 8600Gt cause datz in my budget !!! the difference of it with 8800 pice is about 3K ......

performence wise 8800 is 3 times much better than 8600 according to the official Nvidia site

keeping in mind the 9 series is cumming out !!!

so what should i go for ?
 
and 1 more thing !!!

Does the overall GFX of the PC increase with 2 8600 compared to 8800

for eg:

8800 has Shader Clock 1200MHz & 8600 has 1190MHz

SO !

does 2*8600GT makes it 2380MHz ???

OR

any change with .... Memory Amount....Memory Interface.....Memory Bandwidth........Texture Fill Rate ???????????????????????
 
Some games have issues implementing SLI ......the reason is more software(drivers) rather than hardware

So the safe bet would be to have one powerful card rather than two cards with lesser performance

+1 for the 8800GTS 640MB

but i would say +2 for the 9 series cause the figures look really mouth watering
 
I think u should go for the 8800GTS, if possible....coz im not sure how much performance u can actually get out of SLi...:)...as many say SLi performance aint good....:S
 
who told u 2 x 256=512 ??its not the facet for sli

u can even get a gts 640 or even agreat gtx for the pice of 2 x 8600gtss.
