why not get your self 7800GTX, then in future if you want to upgrade just buy another 7800gtx when its price drops down

yeah id get 1 7800gtx it will run every current game at full everything at the moment, then later when games start getting moe hard core and 7800gtxs will be cheaper you can grab another

Well duh guys, but thats not what I asked. Obviously 2x7800s is better than 2x6800s......

rofl If it's so stressful don't bother posting in future
But tbh they're both about the same, personally i'd go for the 7800gt.

a 256mb 7800 GTX = about 1-5% faster than 2 6800 Ultras

a 512 mb will be 80% faster than 2 6800 Ultras

2 6800 ultras is about 2-5% faster than 1 7800 GT, but getting 1 7800 GT is much easier to manage

shouldnt the 256mb 7800gtx be 10-50% faster not just 1 to 5? coz if the 512mb 7800gtx is 80% faster... and its only double the ram... doesnt it mean its only 2-10%?

the 512mb isnt just double the ram
the clock speeds are jacked up further too

That doesn't make any sense what so ever. If you have a poor CPU you will bottleneck that card big time. Making a $750 video card utterly useless.

i mean 512 mb of ram on the card doesnt really boost FPS.    But if u want to play games that support the 512mb on ultra quality then get the 7800gtx 512.  and lets say u have the 512 card and u have a 2.8 ghz p4 cpu. You will sometimes lag in gfx intense games.  SOMETIMES

its not ABOUT the amount of memory, but

GTX       - Core-430mhz Memory-1200mhz
GTX 512 - Core-550mhz Memory-1730mhz

difference in clock speeds
