Re: ati new gpu x1800xt 512mb is it worth it

i would say don't go with SLi or Crossfire, having a single powerful card is probably going to be enoug for any game out now, and having 2 graphics card is VERY expensive (not to mention a new motherboard.) The price you pay for the 2 cards alone is probably enough to build an entire budget gaming computer off of.

Look into the 7800GTX models, they aren't bad. i jsut personally would not want to pay that much for 2 grpahics cards when you only get about a 60% performance increase out of the second one...it's not double the performance when you have 2 cards.
