I'm assembling my new PC (Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe with AMD Athlon 64 AM2 4600). The system has great POTENTIAL for upgrades in the future. My question is: I would like to install a single Nvidia 7600 series card for now and then match it with a second card in an SLI configuration. How will two 7600 card stack up with one 8800?Since I am not the huge gamer enthusiasts, I am going to do the same thing soon, (2) 7600gt's......BUT;

he'll find this post soon............Hee hee, I'm here now.
I guess I sort of replaced Track then . . .
Two 7600s will give you great performance, but they will not support the new technologies such as DX10 that the 8 series do.
Have a look at the GPU FAQ and I'll see what I can find about 2x7600s vs an 8800.
Edit: The 8800GTX beats the 7600GT in SLI.
The 7600 was a high-performance version too.
Does that go some way towards answering your question?The 8800s cost a bit more money than the 7600s of course. I'm just looking for an interim but just like "death" and "taxes", DX10 is a-coming. Since there is no time completion of my new rig, I guess the prudent thing to do is wait until I can afford to buy an 8800.

Basic components as follows:

Antec Sonata II 450W PSU
Asus [emailprotected] DeLuxe
AMD Athlon 64 AM2 4600
1 Gig DDR2 800 (PC6400)
WD Raptor 10K RPM, 74G SATA HD

I'm sure something newer and "better" will be along soon as well.
