Should I Sli my 8800gtx

Hey I already have a EVGA 8800gtx and I'am thinking og upgrading a little bit. I can get another on ebay for around $200.00But would it be worth it for new games or should I try and get a 280. I also run XP still if that means anything thanks.Should I Sli my 8800gtx
if a 9800gx2 gets similar performance to a gtx 280 then sli 8800gtx's (which are just a little worse than sli 9800gtx's which r bttr than a single 9800gx2) will prob be just a little bit under the gtx 280think about it your saving 250$ off the gtx 280's current 450 price tag by doing SLI, i think SLI is definately the best choice here, i myself have sli 9800gtx's and am very happy, probly gonna upgrade to the next beast in the next generation if performance warrents it, i always have friends that want my old hardware for friend prices :Phope this helped :PShould I Sli my 8800gtx
your 8800gtx card is still powerfull and if you ask me you should wait for directx11 , nvidia will be releasing it in late 2008.

nvidia dosnt release direct x, microsoft does.
[QUOTE=''nimatoad2000'']nvidia dosnt release direct x, microsoft does.[/QUOTE]directx11 is both software and hardware so it can be released before the official directx11 from microsoft just like it did with 8800gtx/gtsedit: i know directx11 is from microsoft :D

Will, first of all if you want to Sli get that card from newegg. Much cheaper than the $200 you mentioned.

Hmmm, you are right. I thought they would have it. A lot of parts are cheaper on newegg. But I did find one for 150 dollars on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/EVGA-e-Geforce-8800-GTX-768MB-PCI-e-DX10-Video-Card_W0QQitemZ190239450094QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item190239450094
There is also one for 81 dollars now (5 bids). Just search evga 8800GTX and there is a bunch.

lol yeah there cheap on on ebay, I think I will just sli until i cant play anything anymore. Crysis still looks amazing on my comp and runs smooth on high so i dont think i have to worry about preformance for a while.thanks for all the help
I got rid of my 8800 gtx sli and got 2 9800gx2's. I have a duel boot computer in XP I couldn't use it in SLI and in Vista the memory wasn't as good so I got rid of them very quick. Now I have 2 ultras. I would stay with what you have unless you get 260's or 280's.
If you can get one for $200 on ebay, that means you can sell yours for $200 on ebay. Then you'd have $400 to spend (the $200 you were gonna spend + the $200 you got for your card). Take that money and you could get a 280. Better performance with only 1 card meaning you could SLI later.
