2 GeForce 6800 in SLI mode vs 1 GeForce 9000 series
Hi,
I have an XPS 600, Pentium D 830, 2 GB PC5300 memory, one GeForce 6800 card. Would appreciate your opinions/answers to the following questions:
1. For significantly greater gaming performance (MS Flight Sim 2004), should I go SLI with another GeForce 6800 card or would I be better off with just one GeForce in the 7800 or 7900 series?
2. Since my computer only came with one card, I have no SLI bridge. Would I get a bridge if I bought another card, or does this need to be purchased separately? And, if so, where from? Are all bridges the same? The one Dell sells has a staggering $99.95 list price - I almost wonder if it is not some sort of mistake.
Regards,
GG

Even one of those is better than two of the 6800's.
I do not know about Flight sim but find some reviews because it may be that the ATI cards perform better in it than nvidia.

Check out the new ATI 1GB GDDR4 card.

Search for a Tyan bridge and you ahould be able to find them for a lot less than that.
