I'm looking at the $400 range, not the ultra high-end rig.

But a $400 card is not always a 100% speed increase over a $200 card, is it?

A $400 video card has always outperformed two $200 video cards. Why? Because neither SLI nor Crossfire provide anywhere near a 100% performance increase. They provide between a 30% and a 40% performance increase. So, two $200 cards are going to perform no better than a single $300 card, sometimes worse.

Well I will be the tiebreaker, the first guy is right the second is wrong. People think running two cards in SLI will yield twice the performance of one individually, not so. A high end single card will easily outperform two midranges in SLI.

im particularly particular even with the mid determination card calls for as mininum you'll favor double that for sli and there is not any thanks to understand if both midrange is extra perfect than the only intense end till you tell me which playing cards they're because I truly do no longer understand how huge the hollow between your intense and mid determination card is. for my section i'd %. in simple terms one intense end card because it might want to value you a lot less on the skill furnish requirement plus in case you employ homestead windows xp it has many insects with sli and really reducing performance.

it depends on ur video cards that you are using and how fast there ram and there proc power is of ur current vid cards. when they are combined in sli it combinds both video cards together which will increase performance. for good sli vid cards i would go with two nvidia bfg 7900 gtx's there ram and core speed's are insanely high and u will have a life time warrenty through bfg. and don't go with the 7950's not that great.

1 high end card is much better. Check some benchmark on the net to see the performance of each combos.
