This video card is 2 512mb 7900gtx's hardwired into sli with only 1 pci-e 16x interface. It's probably better than any single 8800 or 9800, save the 9800gx2. The only reason I'm selling it is I don't really have enough room in my case for it. It presses against my sata ports.

I'd highly recommend it if you're doing anything that can take full advantage of sli. This card works very well for workstation applications as it fully supports opengl

so I can still use this card if I don't have a mobo supporting SLI?

Considering that I just bought a shiny new 9800gt from Newegg for $100 that's 80% faster than the 7950, I hope you have realistic expectations on the value of the card.

^You don't need an SLI capable MB to use this card. You just need an open PCIe 16x slot and a good enough power supply to give the all the electricity it will gobble up.

care to qualify "80% faster" than TWO 7900's in sli?

1/14/2009 3:13:40 PM

not a 9800, but a 8800...

The recent price range of sold cards on eBay is $51 to $140. That's a huge range. I would argue that something in the $70 - $80 range would be a fair price. However, I'm sure someone might be willing for fork out more if they had an urgent need for a card.

What card could you compare two 8800 640MB GTS SLI to ?

1/14/2009 5:41:02 PM

^
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 260 SLI 896 MB -> 3481.10
NVIDIA Geforce 8800 GTS SLI 512 MB -> 3468.90
NVIDIA Geforce 8800 GT SLI 1024 MB -> 3467.20
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 260 896 MB -> 3464.80

I have yet to see opengl work properly on any 8800 or 9800. I should have qualified the 'better' in terms of rendering and not farcry or some other flavor of the week fps. I would like to point out in that tom's hardware link that /most/ scores are within 15% and some are down to 1 or 2% difference.

you'll never be able to justify this over an 8800GT/9800GT, sorry.

1/15/2009 1:22:06 AM

It's not a bad card. It's just not a $125 card. A year ago I would have loved to have had one.
