HARD DECISION!

Hello everyone, i need your help to select the Right GFX card for me, i have narrowed down the choices to these with my budget of no more than 300 Dollars.

My new system will consist of a Amd Athlon X2 6400+ and 4 gb 800mhz. With enough power supply for any card.


I think the bottom card should be fast since it has 112 stream processors even though i have never seen a benchmark of it.

In the long future i plan on having one of the cards sli or crossfired so, it would be great if u were to give me both of your opinions which card for a single card set up, and a which card for a dual card setup.

Thanks for your time.

Go for the 8800GTS 512. It's the fastest card out of the bunch and will within your budget.

SLI/Crossfire is a complete waste. By the time you want to add a new card something else will be out that is cheaper and faster than buying a second card for SLI/Crossfire.
