Ok so I have this card right now. Its ok, i do have some issues with it. At least I think its video issues. I figure when they finally release sp1 for vista it will take care of it. Hopefully... Anyways, I was thinking of picking up another one of them to run in SLI mode.

My question would be, (and please post links) if it would be better all 2gether to just buy like an 8800 or something. I mainly play crysis, CSS and TF2 for now. Which route would be better. I  could buy another one to help my fps now and when i'm ready later to get into some real dx10 gaming, I can upgrade. Idk tho... Opinions? Thoughts? Links?

thx

The one I had was a pos. Died in my office pc after only a couple months. I'll tell you this right now, Crysis is too much for a single 8800 Ultra without scaling back the eye candy. With Source based games I can crank it up to max. I've tried a few Dx10 games and have had the most success with World in Conflict. The others, most notably "Games for Windows" branded ones have gave me nothing but grief.
