OK, so Im at the end of my degree and have a wad of student load left over. Ive decided that upgrading the graphics in my PC would be a good way to reward my self for surviving 4 years of degree hell. But I have options, and Im not sure which would be best. Do I:

1) Get another 6800GS to go with my current one in SLI, or
2) Get a cheap (Ã,£200-ish) 7800/7900 to replace it?

I know getting the 7x00 gives me the option of sli-ing that later, but which of the two options give best performance now? Feel free to give any opinions on other options you think up too  

for sli you need to have profiles for games, and tbh, getting a single more powerful card is useful as you have the other card free to go in something else

though you dont get to brag about having an sli system

The idea about getting a better card would mean selling my current one to get the extra money over a second to be able to afford it. So no spare cards happen unfortunately.

[sacrelidge] or use it to pay off some of your loan? [/sacrelidge]

Yeah, dreadful idea, I dont know why I mentioned it.

what use some free money to pay back the money they take years with no interest on to make you pay back each month.

spend the money on a nice card. dont listen to silly suggestions like that one :rolleyes:
