Half-Life 2 is an ATI game. The X800 XL PE beat 2 6800 Ultra's on SLI by far in Half-Life 2.

You shouldn't have a problem. CRT moniors w/ Ultra Bright technology are the best for Graphic's & Games.

Why? You could just invest in a better motherboard or even SLI and whip the X850XT PE.

You could just invest in a better motherboard or even SLI and whip the X850XT PE. The SLI solution is a little on the pricey side. Buying two good Graphic's Cards will put a dent in the pocket. :) Contributed by Super XP, iVirtua Ultimate Contributor 100 iVirtua Loyalty Points • View Profile • Send Private Message • Back to Top Thu Feb 10, 2005 7:55 am Reply and quote this post If you can afford an Athlon 64 + high performance RAM + high performance HDD's, then you can SURELY afford 2 cards in SLI configuration. Contributed by Predator, Guest 510 iVirtua Loyalty Points • • • Back to Top Thu Feb 10, 2005 9:18 am Reply and quote this post It's one or the other. I'd say stick with a nForce 4 Ultra board & get yourself a good Graphic's Card. What would you rather buy. nForce 4 Ultra SLI w/ 2 6600GT's OR nForce 4 Ultra w/ X800 XT PE? The ATI wins in almost every bnenchmark, but yet they almost cost the same.  :) Contributed by Turbo 64, iVirtua Leading Contributor 100 iVirtua Loyalty Points • View Profile • Send Private Message • Back to Top Thu Feb 10, 2005 9:24 am Reply and quote this post Both solutions are great. If you have the money, then by all means go for the SLI. :) The SLI w/ 2 6800 Ultra's is amazing. You can play DOOM 3 with almost full quality & high FPS.  ;) For single card solutions, definitely the 6800GT & the upcoming X800 XL for affordability. That is. :) Contributed by Intel Fan Boyz, iVirtua Valued Contributor 100 iVirtua Loyalty Points • View Profile • Send Private Message • Back to Top Thu Feb 10, 2005 11:55 pm Reply and quote this post why would i need SLi my Gt over clock 415/1/15 plays doom 3 maxed just fine. If i get the x850 plat by ati ill be set for half the cost.

The developing engineer said this out of his own mouth. :)   Can you imagine 512MB & even 1GB GDDR3 Graphic's Cards? ATI is releasing one probably in Q3 to Q4 & I think NVIDIA is right behind. :rolleyes:   If I were ATI or NVIDIA, I would have released a 512MB GDDR3 Graphic?s Card for the mainstream market. That would put a nice led in the Graphic?s Card race. ;) Contributed by Super XP, iVirtua Ultimate Contributor 100 iVirtua Loyalty Points • View Profile • Send Private Message • Back to Top Related Articles Sticky: Obama and Videogames - ANALYSIS - not against v...
