Since last moth test 6800Ultra, SPARKLE 7800GTX SLI and 7800GT single card. Finally, I got chance to see the 7800GT SLI performance.


Take a look first

During the test, temperature and noise condition is very well. SLI auto OC performance is similar to 7800GTX SLI.
NV in 7 series VGA card enhance their temperature and noise controls.
Of course, the performance is quite close to 7800GTX. This is a good news for budgeted users.
7800GT is a great choice in high-end cards.

Yeah - they are very nice... you get the newer (7800) architecture and lower clocks but a better pipe to memory ratio -and- they still stay competitive with GTXs (256) cards.. to a certain extent.. for the $ you can't go wrong with a 7800GT. :)

i have 2 BFG 7800GT OCs, and they perform about the same, i got them for ~ 300 euros each so 2 7800GTs are also cheaper then 1 7800gtx 512

So you guys think 2 7800GTs would outperform a 7800GTX 512?
