This setup I am thinking about should last till late next year, and then I can throw in a Penryn/Yorkfield, and the 9800gtx, which is what I am also waiting for. If I get the 8800gt it is the evga one, for the exact same reason you mentioned, the step-up program. SSj, could you tell me exactly how the step up program works? Oh, and the main reason I dont want the 790i or whatever they call the penryn cert. boards, is that I don't want to spend that much money to run two nvidias in SLI, just isn't worth it for me. I should be fine with a single board for everything I need. Thanks for the help. |
the main difference between the 780i and 790i is that the 790i supports DDR3. So it makes really no difference so your find with a 780i.
here is info on the step-up program from the horses mouths.. i mean evga;s site: http://www.evga.com/stepup/
oh and tri-sli would be useful as when you upgrade to the next nvidia series all you would have to do is buy another card when you see slow down in games then another after that which by the time you buy the third card it should be very cheap.
