Well I decided to blow my savings and went for the GTX. :>

I'm getting the GTS, because the GTX needs two PCI-Express power connectors. I only have two on my power supply, and one of them is going to go on my 7800GTX to use it as a physics coprocessor when nvidia fully implements that in their drivers.

Wait a sec... I can use my old 7800GTX with a new 8800 if I have a SLI motherboard with 2 pciexpress connectors?

No, and even if it was the 8800 would have to ramp down internally to run at the same speed as the 7800 so you might as well just buy another one of those instead.

doesn't know what he's talking about.

The new nvidia 680i chipset has three pci-express connectors. two of them are meant for running sli. the third is meant for using an extra card as a physics coprocessor. keep in mind this is different from SLI.

Since when has it been possible to run an older generation of Nvidia card in SLI with a newer one? eg 7800 + 8800 in SLI?

It's not about how many PCIEx slots you have, it's about what Nvidia enable the end user to do and they do NOT allow cross generation SLI. If you have a 7800GTX and you want SLI then you HAVE to get another 7800GTX.

I read your post. Did you read the other Anon's post? He wants to run a 7800 in SLI with a 8800. I told him it isn't possible and you seem to think it is with your "doesn't know what he's talking about" comment.

He wants 7800 GTX SLI so he HAS to buy another 7800 GTX.

Get over it and gtfo.
