Hey all

would 2 7900gto's run in sli with an AM2 Athlon 64 3200 or would it bottleneck?

and yes i'm aware this isn't really a "high performance" pc and i'm probably in the wrong section but it takes forever to get a reply in the regular section. and the 790s are still pretty high performance... :p
 
you are in the right place. The cpu would be a bottle neck. I dont think you an even get 7900gto's anymore can you? I would upgrade the cpu to a x2 4400 and go with 1 7900gto then you would be goog.
 
yeah, i just didn't want to spend too much. i was originally going for an e6600 and an 8800gtx, i just suddenly came to my senses and realised i shouldnt be spending that much...

someone has suggested an athlon 3700, what about that? still with 2 that is
 
the 3700 is a really nice single core but i would defiantly try to go duel core maybe a 3800?

and i do believe that you cannot get a 7900gto anymore
 
nah i've found a place with quite a few left in stock! i'll have a look at both the 3700 and 3800 for prices

edit: what about the 3800 single core? or is that what you meant?
 
Hmm... thats a good point. £360 for 2 gtos and pretty much the same for a gts!!! well i never... well then, what about the processor? will the 3800 single keep the 8800gts going?
 
no, i've found somewhere, i swear it. at least i think they're in stock

edit: i checked, they are
