The game I mostly play these days is World of Warcraft. I have a single 8800GTX in my gaming/file server PC with two Opteron 285's. It plays WoW very well at 1920x1200.
My wife also plays WoW. It is the only game she plays. But her machine is getting old in the tooth. Its a P4 2.4GHz with an AGP 6800. So I will soon start to build a new PC for her. I bought a Q6700 (after the recent price drop) and some gskill DDR2-1066 ram, with plans to get an Asus Rampage Formula, and possibly a 9800GTX. I am also considering buying a 30" widescreen monitor for her new PC.
So here is my question:
Will a single 9800GTX be enough to play WoW @2560x1600? Could my existing 8800GTX run that res better due to the extra memory & wider memory bus?
I have little interest in SLI or a GX2. So if a single GPU card won't cut it, then I might buy another 1920x1200 monitor instead of a 2560x1600 monitor.
If anybody runs WoW @2560x1600 with a single GPU, I'd like to hear of your results.
Thanks
