I just bought a new Intel Badaxe mobo, lian li case and a 22 inch acer lcd.
Now i dont have the luxury of using onboard graphics until i decide which dx10 card i want to get.
Basically I can either go with the 8800gts...provided i can get one within a few days of release, or I can pick up 2x x1800 xt's and go crossfire on my new mobo. Given that two x1950 xtx's look about on par with the 8800GTX and the 8800gts is downscaled...
Would the crossfire x1800 xt's match a 8800gts?
I dont care about dx10 for atleast another 6-8 months. Nothing ive seen so far wants me to get dx10 on release... maybe crysis or halo 2... which dont come out for a while yet... alan wake as well.
The two x1800 xt's will cost about 450$.. which is the ballpark figure I can afford right now.
Which would you do? on g80 release I should be able to pickup a few even cheaper. Any other options to consider?
Think the 8800gts will be more than 450$?
