7900GT 256 SLI vs 8800GTS benchmarks

For those who are wondering- here are a few benchmarks comparing a 7900gt SLI setup to a single 8800GTS:

All game settings/resolutions were the same for both cards- I used 1280 x 1024 for all games

7900GT SLI: 142.09 fps
8800GTS: 156.01 fps

As you can see you're not losing anything going with a GTS- the image quality alone is worth it- 2d is very crisp compared to the 7900GT. The card seems to idle at 64C which is a lot higher but the fan is very quiet.

Nice one. Plus when you consider the overclocking capabilities of the GTS, it's a beautiful thing.

nice one.

I was going to pick up a GTS, but my budget didnt allow for it. I picked up an X1950XT 256mb instead
