GTS 320Mb vs GTS 640Mb vs GTS SLI

[Barghest]

I'm running a NEC 1680x1050 LCD screen, and want to max out the settings in Oblivion.

Which of those options should I go for? Is the SLI overkill?

Looking to run this on a system with a E6600 CPU, 10,000 RPM HDD and PC-6400 (2Gb) RAM

well atm i would say the 640 would be better but if you hang on 10 days or so when the R600 releases i reckon they will drop in price.

Good point. Any ideas on which has more bang for the buck?

Im in a similar position. I do think SLI is an overkil tbh and i for one have decided to get a single 640Mb GTS, but im hanging on to see if they drop in price and to see what price the R600 comes in at

A single 640 will do the job very nicely.

nv dont do price drops as they are made to order

That's only the GTX's, I think.

Avoid SLi. Avoid the 320MB version.

The 640MB version is where it's at.

If you are considering SLI, then why not get the GTX instead. Otherwise, the GTS 640 would be my suggestion.

That is what I've decided to do.

Just need to wait for the price to drop after the R600 is released (Or will the price drop?)
