Twinning graphics cards

dandy man · 04-19-2007, 12:09 PM

I have an XFX Nvidia GeForce128m 660GT and am thinking of upgrading am I better buying a single card or is there any merit in twinning. I was thinking of possibly buying two 256mg cards.

Hello,

What motherboard do you have?

you need an sli motherboard and with a graphics card that old you might aswell just sell and buy a new one like the 8800gts 320mb

Firstly you have to identify which type of card do you have? AGP (ACCELERATED GRAPHICS PORT) or PCI-EXPRESS? Seccondly I would recommend you to buy a single 512 mb DDR2 card of ATI (Radeon X1600 to be accurate) ( if having AGP) which is the cheapest product for what it offers. I bought it for 99 euros (150$) and I am very satisfied.

Hello.thanks for response.

well you need some more ram and for a more general performance boost an Athlon 64x2. what is your budget???

£200,at this time.Perhaps it would be better spent on twin ram?Or a faster cpu?

saltynay · 04-19-2007, 02:21 PM

yeah I would get a new cpu and some ram get your all round performance a boost and then save up for a new graphics card and get an 8 series by mid-summer the whole range would be out so that could be a good time to come back for card. What psu do you have??
