SLI is always not worth the money, because it does not give double the performance, and the extra performance is always not consistent across all games - very much dependent on the gaming application. Better to get a more powerful single card.

SLI only, if money is no object.

hm...so if i dun SLI, which should i get???

ya lor. i rather you go for high end graphics.

What's a suggested 'comfortable' graphics card that can support World of Warcraft? Haven't upgraded my PC for a while and just realized my graphics card can't support the game. But yet don't feel a need to get a really good one, cos I don't use it for games (except in this case, WoW).

Get the 8800GTS 320MB. Most value for money, and performance is close to that of the 8800GTS 640MB. I assume that you are running at 1280 x 1024 screen resolution.

yes, exactly.However, I am afraid that my CPU might bottleneck the graphic card

which graphics card (budget but gd) should i get that supports 1280 x 1024 resolution

i don't play games but use comp for watching movies...

[Dr.Vijay]

What kind of movies do you watch? DVD or HD movies obtained from elsewhere? If it's the latter, make sure the graphics card supports AVIVO or PureVideo HD (ATI and NVIDIA respectively). Else, if you don't play games, really, any graphics card that's compatible with your system will work fine.

What do you have now?

Prices for GeForce 8 series updated. Performance is not quite what I expected. Therefore, my sentiments are the same as most reviewers, no upgrade required for those holding on to their existing mid-range DirectX 9 cards, as the latter performs equal or better in current DirectX 9 games.

If you are using onboard graphics, you get a boost in graphics performance. Not recommended for modern games, as this card is still quite weak in graphics performance.

[ColinYip]

Actually looking at the cards, the 8 series- 8500gt, 8600gt/gts should not be reccomended until the current 7 series cards run dry in the market due to cost performance leh...

Wot u guys think?
