Re: Is SLI/Crossfire worth it?
What resolution do you plan on playing at and what are your systems specs? Also how much would you be spending on the gpu(s)?

Re: Is SLI/Crossfire worth it?
im putting together a new build so i dont have specs on hand right now im still shopping around, as for resolution im on a 1024x768 right now but i plan on getting a bigger monitor soon. Can't say what size as of now. and as of right now
Newegg.ca - ZOTAC ZT-94TEH2L-FDR-V2 GeForce 9400 GT 512MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Low Profile Ready Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
two of those
ZOTAC ZT-94TEH2L-FDR-V2 GeForce 9400 GT 512MB
but for price it depends if i go sli/crossfire beacuse if i dont go either i could get a more expensive gpu and not as expensive mobo

It isn't worth putting those cards in sli since it would cost nearly as much as a single HD 4850 which would be much faster.

Re: Is SLI/Crossfire worth it?
at the res yout at right now it would not be worth it for any kind of sli really. Sli really shines at higher 1920x1080 and up.
