Does anyone know which one is better for gaming? Nvidia released them around the same time, and both cards are really tempting. What i plan to do in the near future: Nvidia 790i SLI Motherboard Best available Nvidia GFX card x2 ( i have heard that you cannot stick 3 of these on the new motherboard.). 8 gigs of ram Quad Core Extreme Processor. What do you guys as fellow gamers recommend?
Either or. A friend of mine just recently made his pc, which has 4GB DDR3 RAM, and he has a 8800 1GB Along with a Quad core processor. Not sure about his motherboard or chipset, but his PC is damn good. He runs Team Fortress 2 at full settings and gets 250 fps.
The GTX 280 generally seems to be a better performer. Also, you can put 3 of these in a system if the motherboard supports triSLI (or whatever they're calling it), although the scaling for 3 video cards isn't generally worth it yet.
my motherboard (the one I've not installed yet) supports quad SLI ;D although i'm not installing vista so it wont work.
