my first Build

[Luke]

what do u mean "could i sli then" you could use 2 gpu's in sli with any monitor.

 

[Invisible]

you get more performance boost the higher the res.

 

[Luke]

yeah i know but he was saying it like it wouldn't work.

....what if I bought a 23 inch tv instead....could I SLI then?

Most LCD TVs, if not all, compared to LCD monitors, have a low native resolution. You wouldn't need SLI for that. Even a 32" with a resolution of 1366 x 768, wouldn't need SLI.

You really start to see benefits of SLI after 1680 x 1050.

oh alright...well thats fine I guess.

 

[MangoSalsa]

Also, for another case, im looking at the Thermaltake Armor, COOLER MASTER COSMOS 1000 RC-1000-KSN1-GP, NZXT Zero, ENERMAX Uber Chakra ECA5001BS, CLIO Windtunnel, APEVIA X-PLEASURE-AL, and the GIGABYTE 3D AURORA GZ-FSCA1-ANB.............thoughts?

 

[heister]

im using the thermaltake armor in my next build .. tons of space tons of cooling

 

[MangoSalsa]

all of them look so good though, I guess ill have to narrow down

 

[heister]

get the best price/ performance

 

[MangoSalsa]

ok well I added everything up and the price is too much...almost 2k...im trying to keep it under or around $1300

so for the sake of being on the more cheap side, and for the sake of finally becoming clear on the subject, I ask again, 1 video card for $410 or 2 for less than that? Performance wise (on a 23" monitor) would the 1x 8800GTX out perform 2x of another EVGA card??
