here are the new system specs that I will have in my system...i know my ram and my card will bottleneck, but it will still improve my computers performace so that I can play until I upgrade Pci-E.
2.4ghz Pentium 4
1 gb/PC2700
Abit AI7 motherboard
MSI 6600gt
Rosewell 500W powersupply, with 12V@26A
1 wd 80gb hardrive
1 sony cdrw drive
1 dvdrw drive

Tell me how it is. Hopefully I can play some games with this:)
 
6600GT isnt that bad, it plays todays games pretty good, and even the sli 6600GTs can almost kick out playable frames at an average of 28fps on doom3 on ultra with 4xAA and 8xAF and 1600x1200

though if you upgrade get the 6800GT, it gets 32.5 on that on average (victory dance)
 
NOo...a 6800gt would be a waste of money if I am going to PCI-E next year....6600gt already bottlenecks my old 2.4ghz cpu....so I believe a 6600gt will do the job for cod, cod:uo, bf2, and hopefully stalker. I dont' have to have the graphics on full settings either... :good:
 
oh next YEAR haha

you could prob get a 7800 for the price of a 6800GT then haha

wow next year, your vid card will kick mine's ass
 
SLI has gone down but I'm waiting to see what CrossFire can do. Your setup will play Call of Duty and BF2 just fine, though you might have to tone things down a little with BF2. A gig of most any ram is nice so I don't think PC2700 will cause any issues with performance. As for Stalker the system requirements are the highest I've ever seen but I imagine you can probably still play it with things on lower settings, the cpu will cause the most probs, as the game requires like a 1.8 or 2.0GHz p4 so things may be a tad dicey but you never know. Good luck mate.
 
Didn't you say both sockets had full 16x capabilities or something, if so in the future that will be a determining factor.

yeah but like i said before alot, i wonder how the crossfire chipset will compete towards the SLI

On paper, Crossfire seems to outdo SLI. Not only in performance terms (relying on the fact that the cards themselves are fast enough, not just the synch method) but in marketing. You can run a different model card with a Xfire card unlike SLI.

Crossfire method will allow Supertiling, effectively splitting the screen into 32 sqaures for rendering making better load balance than nvidia scalable link method.
 
SLI and Crossfire are really only designed for games, especially SLI. A multi-GPU solution with 2 of the most powerful workstation cards would be nice. Not for games but for 3dsmax and the like.
 
yes but Nforce 4 SLI kinda was lucky to be based on the Nforce 4 Ultra and its upgraded by a bit more, its not all about the games,

its a very good chipset + saving the world from hell on mars on high quality
 
yeah sli is 2 graphics cards working together isnt it? pci-e is just the connector they use. so it may have pci-e but may not be able to have sli graphics cards as for sli you need 2 of them.
