Is 6800 GT SLI worth the Meme

KING OF THE DIRTY DANS

I mentioned a while back I have an XP gaming rig, and I have been looking into SLI

I noticed that the price of 6800 GTs more than doubled since I bought mine

Is it worth getting another one, or just getting a new*** (to me) card

Mostly play SWAT, GTA SA, and other mid 2000s games on it btw

GeForce 7900 GT's appear to be much cheaper and perform just the same as the 6800 GS in SLI. You could probably snag a 7900 GTX too for less than what people seem to what the 6800 GT for.

 

And heck, while you're at it, buy two of them. :)

 

EDIT: Or look out for 7950 GX2's, get two of them, and experience quaaaaaaad SLI.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

Well 6800 sli would be better, but still shit by today's standards. I guess it would be better in benchmarks, but actually playing retro games you will still be underwhelmed.
