So i got a XFX nForce 750i sli only because i got it cheap, now i can get another 8800gtx same as mine fairly cheap aswell but i just wana know if my PSU will be good enough to support two 8800gtx's.

Atrix 720W

Thanks

I don't know. I've never heard of the brand before, never seen any reviews of any of their PSUs. Can you post Amperages for the PSU? If it does what it says it does, then 720W should be fine. But if it doesn't, then you'll definitely find out.

I don't know, but SLI'ing a pair of 8800GTX cards at this stage would be an ample definition of madness.

What to you mean? pointless doing it? Recieved my 750i sli today also 4GB OCZ 1066 memory and a 500GB seagate HDD and finally a Samsung Syncmaster 2333HD 23"

Yeah. I've no idea how much an 8800GTX costs now, but I'd say it's about $130 or something on eBay. You could get a GTX 260 for the same price. Given that my OCed GTX 280 beat Tri-SLI overclocked 8800 Ultras, you're wasting your time.

ok fairnuff, hows this? is there a huge performance increase from my 8800gtx or shall i go higher? XFX GTX260 Core Edition 896MB DDR3 Dual DVI HDCP HDTV out PCI-E Graphics Card - Ebuyer

Heres my Psu specs anyway

720w Sli ready 80 Plus 10A 50-60Hz

+3.3v-28A +5v-30A +12v1-20A +12v2-20A -12v-0.3A +5vSB-2.5A

Any good?

Thanks

You should see, roughly speaking, around double the performance of the 8800, though your CPU might be a bit of a bottleneck at only 2.4GHz. That's very rough though, could be anywhere from 70% up increase (which is still really big).

The PSU from the specs looks fine, though lesser companies have been known to give exaggerated ratings with their units.

i aslo had a new CPU sorry i didnt mention that. Iv now got a core 2 duo E6700 OC'd @2.9Ghz dont wana go any higher until i get a better cooler.

but still i might go up to a gtx275 depends on what budget i got i suppose.

Is it possible to change windows 7 32bit to 64bit? (without buying another) and is it even worth it?

Thanks

If you have a retail version, yes, just reinstall and select 64-bit. If you have OEM, no.

Do you have any idea what your budget will be, or when you will know for certain?
