No he has a 22"IIyama CRT.

Ive been screaming at him for ages to get a decent TFT but he wont listen

Quad SLI won't be any faster than 2 card SLI on a monitor like that.

Well in three weeks time we will be half way into August. Having a 90 day upgrade program, you "should" be fine, as this will take you to mid November.

With the next Nvidia G80 targeted for release around the September October time, great!!!

Its a really good idea as it allows you to have a decent card for a few months and send back when the newer more powerful card arrives. All you have to do is pay the difference.. win win.

if there is much of a differnece, after all its 2 top of the range cards for 1

Gadget can I advise you to buy the EVGA cards. If you are going for a quad SLI set up, you should consider how close you are to the release of the next generation form Nvidia. The arrival of the new DX10 cards is going to be around September/October time.

EVGA offer a service whereby, if new updated products become available and you would like to upgrade they allow you to use what they have called the "step up program". This allows you to upgrade from your current GPU to the newer version, all you have to pay is the difference from the original price of your GPU to the price of the newer one.

There are limitations that go with this.

You have to swap/upgrade within 90 days of your purchase. You can only swap/upgrade once per purchase.

You are going to be spending a lot of money when buying those cards so be shrewd and research this a little further.

Here's a thread authored by Gibbo offering the new service.

I would advise you to read it.

took your advice and have the evga - not bad for a free replacement on my faulty XFX 7800's so ty may be intime for the 90days upgrade we shall see

anyone running this kinda setup using the nvida beta drivers ?

if so

what mobo
what gfx's cards
what power supply

any feedback plz should be taking the plunge any day now

going to be running

2 x BFG GeForce 7950 GX2 1024MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI
1 x Abit AN8-32X nForce4 SLi (Socket 939) on a 4800X2
1 x 600watt power supply (which may need up grading, i know but at £190.00 for a power supply going 2 give my one ago 1st)


will let you know asap

AFAIK it doesnt work because it requires more PCI-E pipelines than current mothreboards have. There are some Asus 975x motherbards on the horizon that double th enumber of pipelines from 32 to 64. It may work properly in these.
