I dont remember anyone bringing ATI up, but ok.
Fanatics you say huh?????
Maybe some of you should look into a mirror once in a while and maybe some threads would actually stay on course.
Everyone will benefit from SLI like mentioned before, but waiting for something you bought to mature while your toys depreciate is pointless.
I make pretty good money and I was looking @ SLI like a pregnant chick looking @ a pickle and ice cream, but there is no freakin way I can justify the cost not to mention time for something that doesnt always work.
So if its so worth it and cheap go ahead and buy into the marketing and wait for it until it matures. Ill just buy it in 3-5 months for half your cost while laughing @ you.
You say $400-$500 and $100 more for a mobo. What about people like me that run a Intel cpu. In my case its a 3.4EE and would like the best that AMD has to offer which would be an FX-55.
I say do the math and quit reading between the lines.
This is coming from a 6800U owner that would like to run 2 of them one day so I can turn all the eye candy on @ 16x12 on a huge ass LCD which is another $1k. That is the only reason I would go SLI is to run my games @ higher res on a larger LCD.
Im not willing to make the plunge into SLI and a new LCD just yet, but I would love to if I could play 10 out 10 of my favorite games. Im not willing to settle for 5 out of 10.
So as you can see for some of us the plunge into SLI is not as simple as for some of you.
I expect the best and I expect it to work.
Alot of the guys on here work their asses off for their money and you say its ok to spend the cash on something that doesnt completely work???
I say thats kind of selfish.......I say its kind of fanatic like.
