My current card is an eVGA GeForce 7900 GS KO which I've been overclocking to 546/717 without any problems. I'm still pretty satisfied with this card but the itch to upgrade never quite seems to go away for me
I started looking into it, and at first I was thinking of getting a GeForce 8600 GT. But clearly after reading some reviews and such I think this would be a poor upgrade option. I doubt it would improve much on my current card especially taking my modest overclock into consideration.
So what would be my best bet with a $100-150 price range? Could I get anything that would significantly outperform what I have now? I found a few cards identical to mine on eBay which I could probably get for less than $100. What if I just got another one and went SLI? Not sure how much I care about DX10. I don't have Vista and have no intention of getting it - EVER. I don't really care about Bluray playback either, at least not on my desktop. If I took the SLI route do I need to be aware of any overclocking issues? Like what if one card overclocks better than the other, would I be limited to the poorer overclock?
Thanks
